Welcome!

So enjoyed meeting everyone this afternoon and look forward to seeing you at Freshman Convocation Thursday, August 23 at the Tad Smith Coliseum.  Please arrive between 6:30 PM and 6:45 PM by the main entrance to pick up your ticket.

Just noticed this Common Reading Experience Essay Contest with a chance to win $150 from the Center for Writing and Rhetoric. Your EDHE 105 class assignment of 100 words about Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter author Tom Franklin‘s Freshman Convocation speech due to be submitted by midnight next Thursday, August 30 could be the first part of the 1,000 word essay required for the contest (it must be emailed to cwr@olemiss.edu no later than Friday, October 12. 2012).

Another invitation for Thursday! Learn about volunteer opportunities—and fulfill a class requirement—at the Service Organization Fair  August 23 from 11 AM to 1 PM in the Ole Miss Union Lobby. Nearly 40 local organizations are registered to participate. You’ll receive a paper survey with additional information about the fair to tear off and turn in during class as proof of your attendance.

To keep up with other happenings and news, like the College of Liberal Arts on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @umlibarts.

Register for Rebel Run via your myOleMiss portal.

Please email your name suggestions to replace “Section 74”  for this  class blog.  Also, email photos of events or college life that you take this semester and I’ll include them on the blog.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions about the assignments or anything else.

Enjoy your first week of college—and write about it somewhere—a piece of paper or a blog!!
