It's time to schedule Donuts & Faculty sessions for spring 2006. This semester we will save Tuesday mornings from 8:30-9:30 a.m. for presentations and Q/A sessions on topics such as studying abroad, working in international law, Career Service programs and particular clinical programs. The early time is to avoid as many class conficts as we can for faculty or organizations trying to dessiminate information. We will plan for Wednesdays or Thursdays from 8:50-9:50 a.m. for informal meetings with one or two faculty to discuss current events, their interests, their career advice or whatever topics work. The later time and alternating days of the week is to make the sessions more accessible to faculty and students who don't always get to the school before 8:30 a.m. There will, of course, be conflicts with classes but they will be different conflicts from week to week. All Donuts & Faculty sessions will be in Lubar Commons (Room 7200) and include free coffee and donuts. The Tuesday presentations scheduled so far are Study Abroad on February 7 (8:30-9:30 a.m.) and Community Justice Week activities on February 21 at the same time. The only Thursday discussion scheduled so far is "Curling" with Prof. Gretchen Viney on February 2 (8:50-9:50 a.m.) Send your ideas and topics to Joanna Binsfeld at binsfeld@wisc/edu, call 262-6297 or come to Room 5106 and talk with her. We are looking for ideas and volunteers for presentations and programs on the following Tuesdays (8:30-9:30 a.m): 1/31 2/14 2/28 3/7 3/21 3/28 4/4 4/11 4/18 4/25 We are looking for ideas and volunteers for discussions on the following Wednesdays or Thursdays (8:50-9:50 a.m.). 2/8 or 2/9 2/15 or 2/16 2/22 or 2/23 3/1 or 3/2 3/8 or 3/9 3/22 or 3/23 3/29 or 3/30 4/5 or 4/6 4/12 or 4/23 4/19 or 4/20 Let Joanna or me know if you have questions.
