Venue Change!

Good morning from SAU!
The Field Expedition course (A Walk Through the Parks) has just returned from our trip visiting three national parks: Guadalupe Mountains, TX, Carlsbad Caverns, NM, and Big Bend, TX.
Our students experienced a lot of new and eye-opening natural wonders while in the field, and they would like to share their interpretations of the expedition with you. We will be having a public presentation of the class projects this Friday, May 25th at 6:30pm in the Harton Theater on SAU campus (see attached map).
Doors will open at 6pm with light refreshments available. The presentations will begin at 6:30pm, with a question & answer session to follow. We expect to wrap up just after 7:30pm.
All donors will have priority seating in the theater with a thank-you gift at your seat. If you cannot attend, please let me know (klsheehan@saumag.edu) and we will mail your gift to you.
I hope you can attend, we certainly appreciate your support for the initiation of this course, and hope you will consider supporting future trips to our national parks.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kate Lyn Sheehan
