Those blog readers who are in St. Peter should pay a visit by this Thursday, May 10th, to the bulletin board in the third-floor lobby of Olin Hall. We’ve got a sheet there for you to sign up for the MCS Department picnic, which will be Tuesday, May 15th, rain or shine, at the Arboretum Interpretpretive Center. Why a sign-up list? So that we can be sure to have plenty of food, which we’ll start serving at 5:30pm. But come earlier to share in the fun and relaxation. Mostly that’s what we’ll be doing: relaxing and eating. But we’ll also make a bit of a fuss over the student who is this year’s winner of the Corey Ervin Prize for Outstanding Service. (Those of you who haven’t congratulated recent faculty winners of college and regional honors could also take the opportunity to do so at the picnic.)
