"Taking Root" available online

"Taking Root," the wildly successful cartoon-style guide to Hampshire College, is now available online! Learn about Hampshire's history, the divisional system, and all of the campus resources available to you.

This publication is great for students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, and anyone else interested in the college. Read it at http://star.hampshire.edu.

Originally conceived and written by two Hampshire alums, "Taking Root" has been distributed to incoming Hampshire students for the last four years. Working in conjunction with the Dean of the College and the STAR Peer Resource Center, we are happy to bring you this year's version online, for those of you who did not receive hard copies.

With that in mind, we would urge you to fill out this form, so that the Humanities faculty can help you find a member for your committee.

Application are available online and in the HACU Office, Emily Dickinson Hall Room 6.

HAMPSHIRE DESIGN CONSPIRACY

Open Forum: Bring your ideas. Come on, don't be shy.

Next week we'll have our illustrious alumnus and world traveler Aaron Wieler tells us about his summer experience in San Francisco and Nicaragua working with Whirlwind Wheelchair International.

The Hampshire Design Conspiracy is an informal weekly gathering for those with interests in design. The primary goal of the gathering is to provide a forum where students can get ideas, feedback, support, and inspiration from their peers. Any design idea or project is welcome for discussion. Attend as frequently or sporadically as you wish. It's not necessary for you to have a project or even have any experience in design, interest is the only prerequisite.

For more information talk to Glenn or Don at ext. 3109.
