Talk of the Times

Promotion
Marcia discussed recruitment concerns for residence hall Talk of the Times sessions. She said she would
contact Dwayne Peterson to see if the ADP could advertise and recruit students in the Fountains
residence hall for each session.
Marcia suggested that faculty members be invited to bring their classes to Talk of the Times discussions.
It was determined that Martina Perry would email targeted faculty members about this prior to the
March sessions.

Martina Perry would email faculty members before and after Spring Break, requesting their participation
in leading relevant sessions. Marcia said dates would be determined based on faculty leader interest
and availability.
