Wednesday 1/21 - Guest Speaker from Lamar University ... Cancelled



After you knock out your CWoD (ambivalent), put your Chromebook back in the cart and plug it in to charge - some of us are struggling to get that part (plugging them back in) accomplished.  If that continues, those responsible are going to have their Chromebook usage suspended.

Also found some food/candy wrappers on my floor yesterday - any further issues with that and there will be NO FOOD OR DRINK of any kind allowed in this room.  Be an adult and clean up your mess.

Our guest speaker had a family emergency today and will have to reschedule.  So, we get the day to get back to researching.  Spend your time productively working on that.
