Spring 2001

Dear Medievalists,

Please remember our meeting on Wednesday, April 25 at 1 p.m., Aztec Center, Room CALLI.

This will be our last meeting this semester and for many of you, who are graduating, probably the last chance for our fabulous get-togethers on campus. 

We have a lot of news, too: 

As of Fall 2001 we will have a new president - Jason Dunn, another stressed out but dedicated graduate student who has volunteered for this very fine position -  and I will move on to new territories within the organization of Sigma Tau Delta. 

The society will also be co-sponsored by the History Department--Dr. Mathew Kuefler, history, with Dr. Laurel Amtower, english, will be our new sponsor from their side. 

And then I think there is still this unholy plan with a dinner in some kind of So-Cal Medieval establishment called Medieval Times....

So, please come & join us!

Yours,

Carola

Meeting Schedule Spring 2001

We are very happy to let you all know about the progress we are making with the establishment of the San Diego State University Medievalist Society. It is a club/ discussion group for like-minded people who are interested in any era or subject of the Middle Ages. The Medievalist Society is a great avenue to get involved in campus activity and gives lots of room for SELF-EXPRESSION during your time at SDSU. Everyone is invited!

For the first time we are able to have a regular meeting schedule & meeting room for the entire semester. 

Meeting Room: CALLI on the lower level of the Aztec Center. Meetings will be held bi-weekly and will last for about an hour.

Time
1- 2 pm

Dates

  • February: 14th and 28th
  • March:  14th (Spring Break/ NO meeting) and 28th (Yes, yes, yes)
