Welcome to a new semester

Welcome back to all faculty and staff who have been on summer vacation. With classes starting everyone will be busy pulling together last minute projects, tweaking assignments and getting organized. The library is full of new books and videos and as always, librarians are available for classroom instruction.

Frosh Day

The annual Frosh Day activities will be held on Thursday September 6th hosted by the Recreation Council and King SSF. As in past years first year students are invited to the gym for 10:30 a.m. to participate in icebreakers. They will then meet at Recreation Island at noon for a BBQ and afternoon activities. Returning students are invited to the BBQ and activities.

Dance Dance Revolution in the Library!

Do you wanna dance?! Come to the library during the week of September 4th to test your skills on the DDR mats. You can challenge a colleague, or just show off your nimble footwork! Have some fun and meet your library staff.

You may have noticed the new televisions around King Campus. The televisions will provide important community information including scheduling updates, special announcements and event information.

Missing Link Golf Tournament

King Campus was represented by two teams at Seneca's Missing Link Golf Tournament. Cynthia McKeich and Dave Geddes made us proud by winning the female and male "Closest to the Keg" contest. The tournament, which was held at the Maples of Ballantrae Golf Course, raised funds for the Seneca Food Bank. Despite grey skies and cool weather, great fun was had by all! We hope to see even more King golfers out next year.

Only a few weeks of summer left...

Summer is rapidly winding down and in two weeks, most of us will be back preparing for the flurry of activity that is September. These next few weeks are the proverbial "calm before the storm" so take this opportunity to rest up and prepare for the buzz. We are beginning a series of blog entries focusing on the programs here at King, starting with 911 and Emergency Services Communications. Keep reading for more King Campus news and the last of the library's reading recommendations.
