Tony Diaz of facilities was caught on the roof of a building on campus. But do not be alarmed! He was performing routine maintenance that included clearing drains in-between downpours. Rumor has it that Tony’s quick action eased Mark McVeety’s concern over drowning as the skies darkened again.

Please join representatives from the Student Leadership Center in the PUB (rm. 9202) to learn how you can effectively utilize ECHO – tomorrow Oct. 3, at 12:30 p.m.!

ECHO (Click here for more) is an online tool that allows students to learn about and join the clubs and organizations that exist on campus. Staff, faculty and students can promote events in addition to requesting various services (media techs, graphic design, media equipment, etc.). We would like to show staff and faculty members how they can utilize ECHO effectively.
