Office Hours on Tuesday, September 7, will run from 12:15 to 1:30 PM to allow for an earlier lecture by CSU alumnus Jim Sheeler, who won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for his book Final Salute.
Raul will be available for office hours at one of the wooden tables near the MAPS and TAX collections on the first floor of the Morgan Library. Alternatively you can arrange an appointment by e-mail; see "Contact" on the right side of the page.
The research methods Sheeler will talk about should become important to our final essay assignment, and as with author Greg Mortenson's lecture last week, writing about this kind of event could compensate for unexcused absences. (Talk to Raul for more details on the latter; attending Sheeler's lecture is voluntary, not mandatory.)
Here's more on the lecture from CSU's Association for Student Activity Programming:
Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Sheeler

Grey Rock Room, Lory Student Center
CSU alumnus (Journalism, '90) and Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Sheeler will be on campus to talk about his latest book, The Final Salute.
He will tell about his experience shadowing a casualty notification officer embarking on his duty of informing families of the ones they lost in Iraq. The talk will be held in the Grey Rock Room located in the northwest corner of the Lory Student Center on the main level.
Doors will open at 10:30, coffee and scones will be provided, along with a book signing at the conclusion of the talk. This event is free for students and the Fort Collins Community.
