ANNOUNCEMENTS

Spring studio information:

Students wishing to move to a different location in studio need to see Jody in 302 Seaton Hall BEFORE moving. She will then go with you to see if that space is truly available for moving into and if the move supports critical mass of students per studio. If you have already moved, see Jody immediately for studio map updating.

All leftover holiday decorations need cleared from the studio right away. They do not meet Fire Marshall standards and it is imperative they are removed.

There will be an All College Forum tomorrow, January 23 at 10 am in the K-State Union Forum Hall with updates on the Seaton enhancement project.

The deadline to apply for scholarships for 2015-2016 is February 1. Click here to visit the K-State Financial Aid page to apply. Click here to find out what steps you need to take to receive APDesign scholarships.

Matthew Urbanski will present "Principal" for the Ekdahl Lecture on January 29 at 4pm in K-State Union Little Theater.
