Coffeehouse Conversations!

Cornerstone frequently sponsors NE Texas artists, from writers to musicians, to bring creativity to our little part of Texas.

Tonight, Matt Willis from the Celtic rock band The Killdares will be our guest artist. He'll talk about what it's like to be a professional musician and performer, the music writing process, and he may even play some bagpipes for us.

Come by the Northeast campus Fine Arts building and meet a rock star!

NE Advisory Expo is Saturday!

TCCD's NE campus is hosting the "Rock Your Future" Advisory Expo from 10 am to 4 pm Saturday, October 21. The public can learn all about what the NE campus has to offer current and future students. Representatives from the various academic departments and programs will be on hand to answer questions.

Dual credit, distance learning and financial aid representatives will also be available. And of course Cornerstone students and faculty advisors will be on hand to recruit more Cornerstonians and answer any questions potential Cornerstonians may have.

And what's a faire without food and entertainment? That's right. The NE Advisory Expo will offer free hot dogs, chips, and drinks. The NE Campus Faculty/Student Jazz Band will perform and the art department will offer ceramics demonstrations. Students who participated in the English department's recent Poetry Jam will also perform. Plus, there will be a DJ spinning tunes.

Come by for information, food, entertainment and the chance to win door prizes!

News from the Frontlines

The Cornerstone faculty advisors and director met recently to lay the groundwork for Cornerstonian growth. We're recruiting more members, putting Cornerstonians in contact with the Writing Center for volunteer opportunities, and getting those interested in tutoring in contact with people who can help them begin tutoring. We're planning banquets and feasts and we've found out the District now offers tutor training for students interested in tutoring.

We've got an expo coming up where Cornerstone people will be available to talk about the program to interested people. And we're beginning to put together our first Coffeehouse Conversation event. So stay tuned for more updates!

NE Cornerstone Has a Student Council!

NE Cornerstone is in its infancy. In fact, this semester is its (re)inaugural, well, semester. After being dormant for a few years, Cornerstone is roaring back to life with awesome honors classes taught by awesome faculty (coughcough) and taken by awesome students. And did I mention how awesome all this is?

Now, Cornerstone has its very own student council (two of whom will blog alongside yours truly, The Blogmistress). President, veep, treasurer, scribe, and historians--we're getting to be a bona fide campus organization!

Watching the Cornerstonians begin to take ownership today was fun. And helping them as they grow this new baby should be exciting.

Stay tuned for more Cornerstone news!
