Parent Meeting Location Changed!

As it turns out, from 10:15-11:00, President Brian Casey will be holding an event in the ballroom of the UB Building entitled "A Conversation with President Brian Casey." It seems like a fun thing to check out--it's been advertised as an opportunity to meet and chat with the President over coffee and snacks.

However, this means that due to the proximity of Terrace Room C to the ballroom, our meeting this Saturday has been moved from Terrace Room C to the "Fishbowl." The Fishbowl is also in the UB Building; it's the room on the east side of the lobby (to the right when walking in the main entrance.) It has glass windows all along the wall... hence the name "Fishbowl."

We look forward to seeing you at 11:00 this Saturday!

Welcome & Important Info about Upcoming Parent/Team Meeting!

Welcome to the team blog for the Winter Term in Service Trip to San Diego! My name is Paige Penrod, and I am the project intern for the trip, one of three student leaders. I am super excited about the upcoming year as we prepare to spend our winter terms learning about and working with homeless teens in San Diego. We have a great partnership with an organization called StandUp for Kids, and, if I might say so myself, a great team that is motivated to make the most of all the experiences!

Whether you are a parent, relative or friend of one of our team members, this blog is for you. Please check this page out during the fall for updates as we prepare for the trip. During our time in San Diego in January, this blog will have entries from team members about our work and our experiences. I hope you check it out--it's a fun way to be plugged in!

You might have a number of questions already and be curious as to what we will be doing in San Diego. Parents, please come to our parent meeting during Family Weekend here at DePauw! All team members are expected to attend so we encourage that you try to make it as well:

Parent/Team Meeting
