Celtic Music Sensation Leahy to Perform in Laxson Auditorium, Jan. 29
The brothers and sisters of Leahy are returning to Laxson Auditorium on Tues., Jan. 29, 2008, courtesy of Chico Performances.
The eight performers of Leahy all have two things in common: they all have the last name Leahy, and they are all musical dynamos. And, they are back in Laxson due to popular demand. From Celtic to country to classical and pop, these eight siblings are a whirlwind of fiddle-driven music, dance, percussion, keyboards, and vocals that leave audiences breathless. Their music combines the influence of their Irish and Scottish roots, and their storytelling provides a glimpse into their Nova Scotia family roots. An evening of family music like you’ve never heard before.
Tickets are $25 Premium, $20 Adult, $18 Senior, $16 Student/Child for more information on how to purchase tickets, or artist information please visit the web site or call (530) 898-6333.

Rent Party, In Celebration of Black History Month, Feb. 2
The Black Faculty and Staff Association invite you to attend the Harlem Renaissance Rent Party, Sat., Feb. 2, 6pm - 9pm, on Harlen Adams Stage.
What’s a Rent Party? Well, that’s how some Harlemites in the 1920s and 1930s paid their rent. The host would hire a musician, and cook some food, and with the proceeds from the cover charge and the food and beverage sales, she or he would make enough money to pay the rent. The Harlem Renaissance Rent Party recreates this tradition—except, this is a costume party. You can be anyone at all; however, the person you portray must have been alive sometime between Jan. 1, 1919 and Dec. 31, 1929. Period clothing of the 1920s is welcome and encouraged. Please join us for an evening of entertainment, food, and fun as we travel back in time to the Harlem Renaissance. Suggested donation is $5.00.
This event is being co-sponsored by the Cross Cultural Leadership Center.
For more information please contact Dr. Tracy Butts at x5151 or Tray Robinson at x4764

Faculty Seminar Online: Effective Online Discussions, Jan. 22
Online Seminar - Effective Online Discussions
Since this is being held online, and although it is “FULL” and you cannot register, we can all get together and watch it in MLIB 002 (TLP’s faculty training lab) on Tues., Jan. 22, 10am - 11am PST.
The heart and soul of many online courses is the discussion area. However, those new to online teaching are often skeptical about the use of discussions, asking questions like: “Will students overwhelm me?” or worse: “What if they don’t respond?” This session will explore how instructors can approach online discussions including considerations related to the purpose of discussions, tips on managing student (and instructor) expectations, techniques for assessment, and tips on how to stimulate discussion.
Archived sessions are available online.
For more information or to RSVP, contact Laura Sederberg, x4326.
