RU Ryerson? / Obama Day

Oh, hey there.
Don't be alarmed... It's just me. Dan.
Decided I'd forgo the usual video spectacle and try a little bit of textual communication tonight.

I bet you're wondering, "Gee, this guy hasn't posted on here very much as of late."
To which I respond, "Yes but not without good reason!"

We're literally in the last couple weeks of practicum and my group is in the final stages of readying our short film for intense, thorough scrutiny by our profs. Needless to say, you can cut the stress with a knife, if such a metaphorical tool existed. But enough about me.

There's a really interesting contest going down on campus called RU Ryerson?. Students are invited to make a three minute video about what their campus experience means to them. After they're uploaded to the site, the Ryerson community will vote for the best entries. To the victor goes the spoil, which in this case isn't a lame pat on the back or a gift certificate to Chi Chi's. The winner gets $5000! Yep, money.

I'll have more on this mighty soon.... check out the contest's website in the meantime.


I also wanted to let you know of Ryerson's (only annual?) Obama Day going on tomorrow. Over at the Student Campus Centre, The Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Office, Tri-Mentoring Program, Ryerson Students' Union and CESAR are hosting a little inauguration party to watch as President-elect Barack officially becomes President Barack.

There will also be a few guest speakers, some fine refreshments, and Obama giveaways!

Check it out in SCC 115 from 11am to 2pm.
