15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen What do you have for us today, Oh Ember with the cavorite stripes and Dean of Commons?
15:02 Ember (emberell) Due to some RL issues this last week, I've been mostly out of world. But I've been where I can working on keeping up the decor catalog for Oxbridge, and keeping campus safe.
15:03 Ember (emberell) Besides that, Oxbridge is always looking for new helpers - whether tutors, teachers, or otherwise. If you or someone you know might be interested in helping out at Oxbridge, please just reach out to me, and I'll help get them involved - or any of the other staff here
15:03 Ember (emberell) That's it from me this week
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty Ember, and important tasks
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea (Dean of Development)?
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and welcome, Katie)
15:05 Katie (katie.canningham) Hi and thank you Wordsmith!
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) My co-worker was out this week so i worked a lot of hours. The COU bi-weekly is today and it is summer beach themed. Information to follow. I did manage to slap together a last minute build for Burning Man. Due to a lack of sales I pulled the shoulder pet vendors from the area at the bookstore, the ones I left are not seasonal themed.
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) A quick reminder is that Radio Drama hour on Monday with MGB is canceled this week while MGB recovers from surgery.
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Tuesday night we have a live show from 7 to 8. Mr rust will be returning.
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) It’s sum-sum-summertime and it’s time for hitting the waves and dancing on the beach! Make sure you’re family friendly beach attire is fun for the sun & surf! DJ Sasha will be playing lots of summertime & beach tunes! This Caledon Oxbridge Fundraiser not mandatory but helps the community thrive! See you soon! Caledon Oxbridge Village (190,39,22)
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) If you have a event in mind that you would like to use to help raise funds here at the COU. PLease contact Myself or one of the staff and we can help you with that. Thank you to all who donate to the COU. Every linden helps us to maintain the University.
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) back to you Wordsmith
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty, Andrea
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Not a lot from me today, The Oxbridge graphs on the wall behind me were updated two weeks ago, but not today.

15:15 lovejoy2199 Very nice exhibit, Chancellor
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) thank you for your hard work Wordsmith
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen It's very worth doing, Andrea.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen One minor thing, I've started working on a small ferry boat in Blender, with the idea of turning that over to NeoGuv when finished. That will ensure that Neo has something full perms to work with. In the process I learned a bit about boat hulls, planing, displacement, and semi-displacement.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen And that's it from me for today, so open for questions, comments, and whatever.
