Re: GROUPS FOR THURSDAY MEDIA WORKSHOPS

Below are the Morning (Group A) and Afternoon (Group B) students for tomorrow’s media workshops.  Please note that we will be meeting in the computer center (I believe Library 2617).

Students at the bottom of the list are noted as unassigned— I scheduled you all for the afternoon and I am hoping that you can form groups when we meet at the workshop (or we can assign you to a group).  If your name is not on the list below, presumably because you missed class today, please email me and please attend in the morning and we’ll see what we can do to get you in a group (but please plan to maybe have to attend the afternoon media workshop if we can’t make groups).

The faculty  received the following change from EcoFarm regarding the registration info they provided and what we announced in class  week ten.   Please register ASAP  for “registration, meals and quad housing” following the directions below.  All students new to Terroir winter quarter are expected  to participate in the CA field trip.

Subject: Registration Instructions for Students!

Hello Sarah!  I discussed this case with Ken our Executive Director and we will be able to offer a slightly different arrangement which we believe will greatly simplify things in the future.  We would like to offer that the remaining students register with the following discount code:  EVRGRN5 Please have your students enter the discount code exactly as it appears above in the discount code field at the TOP of the registration page, and press “Apply”.  This will take 5% off of their registration for the full conference in a Triple/Quad. Unfortunately we are not able to offer a refund for the 5% discount to students who have already registered. Making changes in the registration and payment system is unfortunately difficult and costly for us to manage. Please let me know if you have any questions or difficulties with this process.  Warmest Regards,  Gabi  — Gabi Salazar
