The weather is
heating up and so is the work of Metro State's 40th Anniversary Planning
Committee. So far, the signature events planned are:
- A Night of
Legends and Champions, Brian Wilson in Concert, Aug. 26 at the
Universal Lending Pavilion, is the kick-off to the anniversary year.
All the concert's proceeds benefit the Metro State Athletics Scholarship
Fund, so whether you want to splurge on $250 tickets that include
a cocktail reception and premium seating or simply want to purchase
the lowest-price tickets, Metro State student-athletes will be the
winners. To purchase VIP tickets, contact Dave Alden, athletics marketing
director, 303-556-8141, aldend@mscd.edu.
For all other tickets contact Ticketmaster: 303-830-TIXS or www.ticketmaster.com
- Fall Convocation
and Investiture of Stephen Jordan will be held early in the fall
semester. President Jordan hopes to have it on a day when as many
faculty as possible would be able to attend. The event will be held
in the morning and will be catered. The ceremony will also include
honoring the 2004-05 Distinguished Faculty and Staff and Golden Key
awardees.
- The Metro
Effect: Metro State Alumni Exhibition is Sept. 8-Oct. 29 at the
Center for Visual Art. All faculty and staff will be invited to the
opening reception on Sept. 15.
- The Plain
and Fancy Ball, March 18, 2006. Save the date now for a retro
version of what was once Metro State's gala fund-raising event. The
ball is being planned by the Metro State Alumni Association to benefit
alumni programs and scholarships.
Also in the works
are a 40th Anniversary Web site (the soft launch is scheduled for July
15), a commemorative issue of Metro Magazine, "The Forty Faces
of Metro State; memorabilia and more.
Watch @Metro for
more 40th updates, or contact any of the three committee chairs: Interim
Assistant Vice President of College Communications Cathy Lucas, lucascat@mscd.edu;
Athletics Director Joan McDermott, mcdermoj@mscd.edu;
or Alumni Relations Director Cherrelyn Napue, napue@mscd.edu.
