Here are some exciting upcoming plans for anyone to enjoy! * A meeting for all Environmental Science/Studies Majors is planned for Wednesday, August 25, in 217 Boyd at 5:00 pm. Be there! * Amy and Molly have come together for a double program! On Saturday, September 11, Amy has planned to reserve some kayaks for a day out on the lake at Hueston Woods, followed by a night of who-knows-what camping with Molly and Amy! Details will follow. * The next Saturday, September 18, Willis will be leading a hike focused on whatever can be found in these forests (mainly birds). This will surely be an interesting hike for all! * If you like stars and meeting new people, Rob has a night for you! On Wednesday, September 29, he is hosting a night of Astronomy on the roof of Boyd, which will surely be fun for all involved! * On Thursday, October 7, the annual Spiders and Cider will be hosted by Jason H. and Willis.

Your jaw will drop when you see this baby eat! * Leo is planning on leading an orienteering session on Saturday, August 16, for anyone interested in learning about the flora and fauna of Southwest Ohio! * On Tuesday, November 2, everyone should plan on meeting in Leonard for the election results throughout the night. Either way, this night will make history! * The following night, November 3, Rob Long will showcase an exciting and mind-blowing NOVA movie for all to enjoy. Snacks will be provided, so come on down to Boyd 217! * Nick will display his love for X-Men and evolution on Wednesday, November 17 in Boyd 217.

Still in the works: Elizabeth's Sleepover with Manatees (sometime in the fall) and Luke & Co.'s transformation of the new McKee Gardens! Stay tuned for more information! * Peer Science Schedule: Hours yet to be determined Mondays: Ryan, Elizabeth, and Rob Long Tuesdays: Jason M and Molly Wednesdays: Willis and Leo Thursdays: Nick, Luke, and Amy POST Your Responses here!  Sunday, November 3, 2002 Here is our inventory journal...please put a date and what you have done.

The Terrifying and TreacherousThelma Fed sometime around Thanksgiving, 2001? if she goes much longer she may require a human sacrifice... Water changed second or third week of the semester? Tank cleaned and paper changed same time as the water - second or third week of classes The Lovely (but sickly) Louise Fed a week before the end of last semester she choked down a mouse... Water changed/added ummm Tank cleaned around the same time Thelma's tank was cleaned, well, we put her into a new tank so i guess that counts... How does she look? at last look she was still shedding and kind of sickly - end of February...  Tuesday, February 5, 2002 Science Center Meeting Times Hello, Here is the Science Center Schedule for the Spring Semester, 2001.
