    Tami Haaland to Present Last Lecture


    The Montana State University Billings Honors Club will be sponsoring a "Last Lecture" on Thursday, March 15th, at 7 p.m. in room 148 of the Library building. The presentation, Past into Future: A Few Notes for the Journey, will be delivered by Tami Haaland, an associate professor of English at MSU Billings. The original Last Lecture was presented at Carnegie Mellon on September 18, 2007, by Randy Pausch, and focused on "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." Pausch, a professor at that university, had received news that his cancer was terminal a month prior to the presentation. While some believe that the Last Lecture began because of Pausch's terminal illness, the lecture was actually based upon a pre-existing series in which individuals were asked to present as if it were their last opportunity to share something with the world - It is in this spirit that the Honors Club sponsors the first annual MSU Billings Last Lecture. The Honors Student Advisory Council, met to discuss possible presenters for this event, considering faculty from each of the colleges. With a more focused list of candidates, they considered the appreciation that students and faculty have for the individual candidates, as well as accomplishments and contributions to the university and community as a whole. Tami Haaland was recognized for her contributions as a member of the MSUB family, and was selected to present this year. Not only is she a well-known and appreciated instructor, but also an accomplished poet. Haaland is a recipient of an Artists Innovation Award from the Montana Arts Council. Her second book of poetry, When We Wake in the Night, will be available in June from Wordtech Editions. Haaland will share poetry and images as she discusses how memory feeds imagination and examines life-lessons she learned from her family. Please join the Honors Club as Haaland presents Past into Future: A Few Notes for the Journey, this Thursday night.

    Easter Fundraiser
    Our Easter fundraiser will begin next Monday, March 19th. The Honors Club will be selling plastic Easter Eggs filled with the customers choice of M&Ms or Jelly Beans, along with a message. These eggs will then be delivered to dorms and offices around campus. We will need Honors students to volunteer to sit at the table in the Galleria between 11a and 1p each week day through April 6th, as well as to deliver the Eggs on that Friday. If you are able to participate in selling the Eggs, please email Patricia at [email protected] as soon as possible with the dates and times that you are available, and you will be scheduled in.

    Red Carpet Evening


    On Sunday, March 25th, the Honors Club will be sponsoring a Red Carpet Evening (www.facebook.com/HonorsRedCarpetEvening). We will need students to help with setting up for the event on Saturday, March 24th, beginning at 8am. Also, if you are available to take tickets during the event (7:30p 12:30a) that would be great, as well. Please let Patricia know your availability at [email protected].
