Please read the following letter from
our Dean of Graduate Studies about how you can win $50. I think it is a fun and creative way to help
pay for supplies or books. Come by the
office and see me if you want to take part in this contest.
Dear Graduate Students
Welcome back to the second semester in RIT's history! We
hope your winter break was a productive one and that you are energized and
ready to go. The purpose of this email is to invite you to visit our
office and to use the facility as a meeting, study and networking space.
We have snacks and coffee/tea available on a daily basis. To
encourage you to use our facilities, we are instituting a one-time contest, one
time award, name the OGS office mascots. As you come in, you will see
five delightful stuffed animals with welcoming smiles. They are fully
compliant with RIT's pet policy and excellent listeners. The challenge
is, they do not have names. If you come up with the best set of names for
our office pets, you will receive a $50 Barnes & Noble gift certificate
good for the purchase of books or other educational materials, directly
supported by the Dean's checkbook. Please submit your entries to
Assistant Dean of Graduate Student Success Rauncie Ryan in person before
Feb. 7th at 5 p.m.. Winner will be announced on Feb 14th,
with a personalized Valentine card from the newly named pets, celebrating their
passage from anonymity to public life.
We are located on the third floor of building 87 (Innovation Center) in room 3100.
Goodluck!
Dean
