Overview

Administrivia

I don't seem to have received paragraphs on Dr. Wittie from all of you.
Please send them ASAP.
Please encourage your friends to come to these talks, even if they don't register.
For folks who visit in person, I may try to set up dinners. Hosts will be expected to try to get a list of interested students.
Sorry for disorganization. A large and unexpected administrative task hit two weeks before classes started, took me about 40 hours, and I'm still not caught up.
I'm working to get my notes on Lea Wittie's visit into an EBoard. (I need to check them over and have her approve them.)
Tomorrow's CS Table: Turing on AI
Next Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.: Art and Technology talk in JRC 101.
Next Thursday's CS Extra (tentative): Matt Atherton '95.

About the course (revisited)

Intended as a resource for Grinnell students.
Sam thinks it's important, but wants to see more student involvement.
You have a lot of responsibility for the course. (Not because I want to offload work, but because I think you gain from interacting directly with the alums.)
Your jobs
- Show up
- Ask good questions
- Co-host three alums this semester
- Send reflective paragraphs
- If hosting an on-campus alum, maybe get dinner partners

We'll spend a few minutes with each person indicating who they would like to host.

We're going to work together to set up a description of the course that you can provide to alums, a template for questions to ask, and so on and so forth.
