Kick-Off Dinner & Cultery Competition!

Please join us for an informal kick-off dinner with free deli delights from local restaurant Marie Catrib's!

Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 5:00 PM in Spoelhof Center Rm 103.

We'll get to know one another and discuss the semester's activities. And, being that we are all interested in design, we challenge you to come equipped with your own unique silverware to

use (boring plastic forks will be available to those without their own) . Be creative! Wood, metal, plastic found materials, and re-formed existing cutlery are all fair game -- remember that the Art Dept. wood shop and sculpture studio metal shop and their supplies are free for you to use. The best design will win a gift certificate to Marie Catrib's!
