Yesterday and Today
As you are watching the debate this evening we will be meeting with our counterparts at the university (in the morning.) Eileen wasn't able to get to the panda preserve but she did see a zoo on the outskirts of Xi'an and the mountains. The terra cotta warriors were very impressive but even more impressive was the massive shopping/hotel/dining complex that greets you as you leave...more about the gauntlet of beggars, hawkers, and shopkeepers later. We will be taking a the train to Beijing at about 4:00 p.m. and should arrive 6:00 a.m. Jim is blogging with some great stories in his comments section so be sure to check there for more detail. Tomorrow the Great Wall ...

To the College Community,
At last night’s Board of Trustees meeting, the Buildings and Grounds Committee recommended to the Board that the college delay its Master Plan schedule by three months due to current global financial issues. This will allow the college more latitude to make the best financial decisions as the project moves forward.
This decision is based on recommendations by the college’s financial advisers and members of the administration. Based on this, the campus center is estimated to be completed by January 2011. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
