Please know that we value and appreciate your involvement in our department and encourage you to come to the “Cookies and Conversation” Meetings and be a part of this exciting time.
P.S. Kristy has promised that at these meetings, cookies or snacks are involved. Further information on the flavor, shape and texture of said cookies is yet to be determined. An anonymous non-faculty member would like to suggest the inclusion of milk with aforementioned cookies.
