Announcements
Presidential Office Hours: On March 30, President Daniel F. Sullivan issued the following message to students, which is amended to suit this week’s Scarlet Letter: “In order to increase opportunities for me to be responsive to issues or concerns students may have, and just to meet some additional students, I am scheduling a series of open office hours in Vilas 110, (including) 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Monday, April 11. Travel will keep me from scheduling additional hours until early May, but you will hear from me again then. No need to call in advance. Just show up and we can talk.
“I'd also like to remind you that I am an avid e-mail correspondent, and listen readily to questions, issues or concerns you'd like to express through that medium, and when a student wants to schedule an appointment, my office tries to accommodate on a same-day basis, or as soon as possible.
“In addition, Mrs. Sullivan and I have been meeting with groups of students at MacAllaster House for conversations every couple of weeks, and I would be glad to schedule other meetings with students at Thelmo’s request, or at the request of other groups. I greatly look forward to these opportunities for dialogue.”

Achievements

Vanessa de Bruyn ’05, of North Bonneville, WA, has won a photography competition that highlights scenes from international study.

As the top prize-winner, de Bruyn receives a $250 voucher for future travel. To view her winning entry, go to www.ciee.org/study/your_stories/photos/fall_2004.aspx.
