A GREAT time was had by all who attended the end-of-the-year party on Thursday, May 14, held in the grassy quad behind the School of Design building at Owings Mills north. A "big top" set the scene for the carnival-themed event, coordinated by Janine Mills and Judy Snyder of the School of Design, and featuring picnic food as well as cotton candy and funnel cake fries. The seniors in each major were honored with gifts and tributes, and the BizComms, with their faculty, gathered for one last blog photo of the year!
As part of their "Faculty in the Halls" experience, professors Leeanne Bell McManus and Chip Rouse arranged for coffee and donuts in the three first-year residence halls from 9-11 a.m. on Monday, May 11, as exam week kicked off. In their own residence hall, Western Run, the two faculty mentors worked with Erin Smiley and Nicolette Stoner, shown in the photo, two members of Lambda Pi Eta, handing out the early morning pick-me-up. Members of Lambda Pi Eta worked with students in Dynamic PR, the public relations club, in Patapsco and Susquehanna Halls to greet the residents with the same morning welcome! Thanks to all the students who worked to make the activity a success.
