NISOD Webinar: They Can’t Succeed if They Don’t Come Back
March 31, noon
Executive Boardroom
Join us on March 31 for a NISOD webinar entitled "They Can’t Succeed if They Don’t Come Back" to explore strategies to promote student success. The old adage goes students are looking for one reason to turn around and walk right back out the door. Unfortunately, about half of all entering community college students walk out the door before their second year of college. As our expert panelists discuss the results of the 2009 Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE), learn how your college can design and implement proven strategies to promote student success and keep students on the right side of the door!
Please bring your lunch. No RSVP needed.

7:30 p.m., doors open at 7:15 p.m.
Cultural Centre Black Box Theatre
By Lillian Hellman
Co-presented by College Players & FUT in the Hat
Dashiell Hammett brought the true story of two school teachers wrongly condemned for lesbianism by the lie of a spiteful student to Hellman’s notice. Her play has earned its place as one of the enduring works of the American Theatre. While it was shunned by the Pulitzer Prize selection committee for drama, the outrage at the play’s exclusion for that award sparked the creation of the Drama Critics Circle award to honour her achievement. This play is not recommended for children.
Tickets $15 (+ s/c and gst)
Esplanade Ticket outlets, http://www.tixx.ca/, at door (if available).

New paintings by Laara Cassells tackle the isolation and absorption of the generation dubbed ‘the intentionally disengaged’. Cassells juxtaposes images of youth and contemporary popular culture with a more historical portrait painting tradition, the equestrian portrait, celebrating both the disjuncture and the resonance between subjects and medium. e·strange runs from February 27 – April 11, 2010 at the Esplanade.
