I saw this information in a couple places, and there’s this article in The Eastern Echo today about the MLK video contest. The contest is “in the spirit of the theme: ‘The Dream: [Insert Self Here].’” Check out the web site and finalist’s videos. The polling is open until January 15.
A somewhat self-serving plug: tomorrow is the bi-annual (or is it semi-annual? well, twice a year) Celebration of Student Writing in the EMU Student Center, between 4 and 5:30 pm. It’s a sort of writing “fair/festival” for students in English 121, which is the required first year writing class, and it really [...]
Yours truly will be busy doing computer stuff and God knows what else at EMU’s part of the National Day on Writing, which will basically run from 9 am to 4 pm, mostly in the EMU Student Center Ballroom. The Eastern Echo ran this nice story about the event, and our gallery of writing [...]
A loyal EMUTalk.org reader and art professor Ryan Molloy sent me the following information about the “Project One” exhibit that begins with a reception on July 16 from noon to 2 pm.

I hope you got my note.
I was the guy pulling into a spot in the EMU Student Center parking lot this afternoon, fair and square, when you cut me off by going the wrong way and took it. My jaw appropriately dropped onto the steering wheel, I pulled up next to you, rolled down [...]
The folks at emYOU! magazine sent me the info below the “Read More” part a while ago– sorry I’m just getting around to this now: “emYOU! The Magazine and Lake Shore Apartments will team up for the 1st Annual Ford Lake Frozen Leap at Lake Shore Apartments on 2500 Lake Shore Blvd. in Ypsilanti [...]
I know that Bill Ayers– the education professor and former 60s radical who was accused of being a terrorist who “paled around” with Obama– is going to be speaking at U of M today as part of a book tour. But I also read on Mark Maynard’s blog that he is going to be [...]
Big stuff going down on campus this week: Frank “Post Secret” Warren gave a sold-out talk in the ballroom last night, the official/symbolic ground-breaking of the Mark-Jefferson science complex was today, and President Martin gets the inauguration treatment Thursday.
