5. The next Lunch and Learn on October 15 at 12:15pm in the Third Floor Conference Room near ALANA will include tips for "classroom management" and "group dynamics" based on your responses to the interest poll. We will bring some experts to talk about best practices for encouraging everyone in our groups to participate, generating excitement about conversations and activities, and helping develop healthy leadership. Lunch is from Namaste - please RSVP so we know how many people we are feeding.
6. Need transportation to your Messina class outing?

   A reminder that all budget and transportation requests still must be submitted via the Logistical Request Form. Please revisit the slides from the August workshop regarding Messina budgets and Workday changes when submitting your first few requests.

   Please still allow approximately 3 days notice for budget requests. Please allow approximately 30 days notice for transportation requests. Contact Patrick Murnane at pmurnane@loyola.edu if you have a trip idea that's less than 30 days out prior to submitting,
