Encore Presentation:
How Students Use Technology to Cheat - The Movie
November 30
12:00-12:50pm (12:05pm SHARP)

ETS created a short movie for the 2010 Geekapalooza event this past summer called "How Students Use Technology to Cheat". This just-for-fun noon hour movie welcomed over 40 spectators, which is the largest number of participants Geekapalooza has had in any one session.

By popular demand, an encore presentation of "How Student Use Technology to Cheat" has been arranged to be played during the noon hour on Tuesday, November 30th in Room B369 - just in time for final exams! Feel free to bring your lunch, or have some popcorn on us! The movie is approximately 35 minutes long, including the Coming Attractions, which you won't want to miss!

There is a surprise actor in the movie, whom almost everyone will recognize. Also, Rae Ann Dillman, one of the lead actresses in the Geekapalooza movie, has recently been cast in a full length feature film. Be there to witness a star in the making!
