Jerry Jr announced in convo that classes were canceled on election day. There will be buses going to the polls and an all day concert in the Vines.

That's a first. I mean, buses from this side of town.

Awesome. Let's beat 'em at their own game. :D

Who's playing at the all day concert? And does anyone know if faculty or staff work that day?

Good! Brilliant! Finally!



Obama has signed up millions of new voters...if other schools/churches and Christian businesses do this we can try to at least cover some of that gap

You could run a tanning special for everyone who shows up with their "I Voted" sticker...

For those of us who don't follow politics that closely, what is the DATE of election day?

Works for me...I teach only on T and R...meaning
...off F, SA, SU, MO, TU, WED!

(not really off, but off from classroom detail)

i think campus praise is probably doing some of the concert duties, hopefully not all though

wouldn't an all day concert cause some people to NOT go out and vote?
