Today is Realism Day, the happiest day of the 2054 semester. I've got a small group of Summer Academy students taking the course right now. If anyone wants to help out with the realism exercise, stop by Major Williams 532 (the classroom right across from the elevator) around noon today!

Take a look at that AMAZING sunshine! What better way to spend the day than by coming to Pie Your Professor Day outside of Owens from noon to 4? We have a bunch of PSCI and PSYC faculty as well as other from across the university. I'll be on from 3-4 so don't miss this chance to pie me for the low, low cost of $3/pie. Or, better yet, come pie Jason from 1-3 too/instead! It all goes to Special Love!
