Beginning of Year Goodies
Hi All,
As promised at tonight's registration bananza, here is the welcome letter. For those yearning for a copy of the course sign up sheet, it's right here. And this is the catalog. Along with Trillium graduation requirements. And here is the new Danny Macaskill video, which has nothing to do with Trillium, except in that, like Trillium, it is totally amazing.
Yay Trillium!
