Late Census Reports
A&R sends a big thank you to everyone that has turned in their census reports on time, which were due last Monday, September 13. For those of you who have not yet turned in your reports, please turn them in to Paula Macias immediately. Any further delay will also cause a delay in the distribution of the final class rosters.

College & Career Night 2004
Mark your calendars! On Monday, November 8th from 6:00 – 8: 30 PM Cabrillo College will again co-host, along with ROP and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, our largest annual outreach event College & Career Night. All departments are invited to have a ‘lively’ presence. Please plan on having a representative from your department – instructors and/or students -- who can discuss and demonstrate (the more outrageous the better) what your department is all about. Once again there will be free and generously donated food from Trader Joe’s for all folks staffing departmental tables. (This may be the only time you’ll ever get to sneak food into the Library.) Sign up today by sending in the yellow ‘Needs List’ sheet to Leslie Read or, if you do not yet have this yellow sheet please call her at 479-5778. If you’ve ever wanted to battle the crowds, yuck it up with fellow colleagues and potential students then join us for this fun filled event. See you then!

College Donation
Cabrillo College Library has received an impressive gift of the “Pajaro Hills Triptych” painted by Dave McGuire in 2003. George Ow commissioned the artworks and donated them to the college. The Triptych has been installed in the periodical reading area of the library.
