ELI News and Updates - October 18, 2011


Dear Students,

October 18, 2011

We need your help: Arts Around the World

Help us celebrate the ELI’s 10th Anniversary by participating in Arts Around the World in the HVPA Lobby on November 17 from 12:00-2:00pm. We will have 12 country displays, music, dancing, food, a fashion show, and more! See pictures from last year here: http://on.fb.me/ArtsAroundtheWorld2010

Do you want to participate in a country display or the fashion show? If so, please contact your ELI Advisor by Monday, October 24.


Time to Meet with your ELI Advisor

It is now the middle of the semester, so it is a great time to meet with your ELI Advisor to discuss how the semester is going and make plans for next semester. Please make an appointment with your advisor by emailing her or writing your name on the sign-up sheet in the ELI reception area. Note that registration for Winter and Spring classes will not begin until November 21.
