Work Day at PIU

The Fall semester is almost upon us! This week we began student leadership training (see next post) and next week we will meet for faculty in-service on Monday and Tuesday before the students begin coming in later in the week. Actually a few have already begun to arrive. As is our tradition, the last Saturday before we begin orientation is a work day to put the finishing touches on getting the campus ready for the new semester. With the renovations of the women’s dorm we needed a little more than finishing touches, but, as you can see, the ladies were more than ready to do their part. We had a good turnout of faculty, staff, students and volunteers despite the dark rainy weather. And as usual, we had a lot of fun together.

The craftsmen repaired benches and hung bulletin boards

  Sharon Bock got the front office ready for registration while our new acting Academic VP Christel Wood coordinated the re-arrangement of our faculty offices.

First-year PIU English teacher Joey Charles seems to have a profound idea here, though he may have a screw loose too. ;)

And the job is done! At least for the moment. Joey enjoys the more “spacious” faculty office area while classroom #1 (right) is ready for excellent, accessible and transformational learning to take place.
