Finals Schedule

All,

Thursday is our last day together. We've laughed, we've cried, we've talk about crack gangs. It's been fun.

If you have not done so, please consult the final exam schedule. Also, remember that I will have food for you on Thursday (Presentation Day!), so come hungry.

Health and Wellness Reading

For Thursday: April 10
