MFA THESIS EXHIBITION TRAVELS TO WSU SPOKANE

For the third year, the Washington State University Museum of Art, in cooperation with WSU Spokane, presents the Fine Arts Graduate Thesis Exhibition, on display May 22 through June 14, 2001 in the Interdisciplinary Design Institute Gallery at WSU Spokane’s Riverpoint Higher Education Park. This exhibition features a sampling of work by this year’s MFA graduates from the WSU Department of Fine Arts and is a representative selection from the exhibition recently on display at the Museum of Art in Pullman.

WSU WEEK READERSHIP SURVEY
Voice Your Opinion Today and Shape Next Year's Publication
Bob Frank, Editor, WSU Week

WSU Week needs your opinion. It's taking an on-line employee survey to measure its effectiveness and to guide future editorial strategy. This is your opportunity to voice your opinion and shape next year's publication. Because this survey will strongly influence future editorial plans, the News Bureau needs to hear from as many readers as possible.

So, please take a few minutes now, go to http://www.wsu.edu/wsuweeksurvey and fill out the survey. Or out the survey on the back page of the Friday, May 11, issue of WSU Week.

Results will be published in WSU Week after they have been tallied.

Thanks in advance for your participation.
