The English Club will host its second annual Children's Book Drive and Holiday Party next Tuesday, December 5, 12:00-1:30 p.m. in the Millett Hall Atrium. Stop by and reminisce about your favorite childhood reading memories while enjoying some classic story-time snacks like hot cocoa, cookies, and popcorn. Bring a new book to donate to a Dayton-area child in need this season via Hannah's Treasure Chest.

 

Next Monday, December 4, Motion Pictures alumna Hannah Beachler is coming to campus to be a part of a dialogue about her work as production designer for the Oscar-winning film Moonlight, the upcoming Marvel Comics movie Black Panther, and Beyoncé's music video, Lemonade. All are welcome to attend the event at 3:00 p.m. in Room 280 in the Creative Arts Center. In addition to showing examples of her production designs and talking about her work, Hannah will be giving the Motion Pictures Area (on indefinite loan) her award for production designing Lemonade.

 

As commencement draws near, I am happy to share that Dean Emeritus Chuck Taylor has donated his cap and gown to the college for use by current faculty. If you would like to borrow them, please contact the Dean's Office.
