It's been a long time...

...but we're finally back with the King Campus News. What a busy semester start -up! The campus is packed with students and we all seem to have hit the ground running at top speed! But the King campus is still the place to be. Lots of activities, lots of plans...read on to find out what's happening.

What are those diggers doing?

You may have noticed the diggers moving earth beside the student parking lot (across from the residence). They are preparing the ground for the portables that we are getting from the York Catholic District School Board. The YCDSB is donating the portables to us and will be using the rooms for an early leavers program. We get to use the classrooms the rest of the time. (You may remember Tina mentioned this at the Welcome Back meeting in August...this is a new location, closer to Garriock Hall and important things like washrooms and Tim Horton's!)

One Book, One Campus 2008

Giller prize winning author Vincent Lam is coming to King Campus. Mark your calendars for Monday, November 24th at 12:35pm. Dr. Lam will be reading from his book Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures and answering your questions. There will be door prizes and more! Bring your class or just bring yourself. Please contact Cynthia Mckeich for more information.

Pumpkin Carving is Coming

It's that time of year again. King Administration is sponsoring a pumpkin carving contest for interested departments and faculties. Sharpen your carving knives and put on your gruesomely creative hats to stun and amaze your colleagues with your creations. Watch for your pumpkin the week after Study Week.
