Attendance Reminder

Please be advised of the following important changes effective Summer Semester, May 10, 2010:

• We will take weekly attendance throughout the term. Failure to participate each week in class either through the online platform or in person may cause you to be dropped from the course or suffer academic penalties.


• If your course has an eCollege component, you must login at least once per week beginning the first day of the term. After logging in, you should complete the weekly assignment, respond to one of your fellow student’s comments or assignment, or at least communicate with your professor by way of the email feature.


• If you are dropped due to non-attendance, your financial aid and student account may be negatively affected

If you have any questions about this policy, please let me know. Have a great class!

Memorial Day

Argosy University, Atlanta will be closed on Monday, May 31st in observance of Memorial Day.

A handful of old men walking down the village street
In worn, brushed uniforms, their gray heads high;
A faded flag above them, one drum to lift their feet-
Look again, O heart of mine, and see what passes by!

There's a vast crowd swaying, there's a wild band playing,
The streets are full of marching men, or tramping cavalry.
Alive and young and straight again, they ride to greet a mate again-
The gallant souls, the great souls that live eternally!

A handful of old men walking down the highways?
Nay, we look on heroes that march among their peers,
The great, glad Companions have swung from heaven's byways
And come to join their own again across the dusty years.

There are strong hands meeting, there are staunch hearts greeting-
A crying of remembered names, of deeds that shall not die.
A handful of old men?-Nay, my heart, look well again;
The spirit of America today is marching by!
- Theodosia Pickering Garrison
