2) Information on the Student Contest for 2012 Holiday Bazaar--Please Promote to Students
Attention all students! This is a great opportunity to showcase your work!
MCA's trademark Holiday Bazaar is just around the corner, and we need your help getting ready for it! This year, we will hold a contest to select a piece of a student artwork to possibly represent the Bazaar for the year. The image of the winning entry will represent the Bazaar everywhere – on posters, on advertisements, on the T-bar in front of the park, and perhaps on other merchandise or even in the media! This is a great opportunity to compete to have your work showcased – the work will be featured at the event, which brings more than a thousand visitors to campus each year. The winner not only gets to represent the Bazaar this year, but also will receive a $200 gift card!
The deadline is soon ... so here are the details:
• Work must represent this year's theme -- as literally or as figuratively as you'd like. This year's theme is, "My Favorite Things."
• Work must be submitted on or before Friday, Sept. 14, by 4 p.m. to me, Cara Sievers (my office is in Rust Hall across from the President's office). I will accept work between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• You must be able to leave your work in Cara's office until judging is over (approximately a week). You must pick up your work when notified.
• You must fill out a submission form when dropping off your work.
• Work does not have to be 2D, but keep in mind that it will be photographed and portrayed in 2D form.
• By submitting your work – and in the event that you win the competition – you are agreeing to let MCA use your work in any medium and with minimal edits in order to promote the Holiday Bazaar.
• The work will be judged by a local design firm and members of the administration. In the event that no pieces are chosen, MCA reserves the right not to award the prize.
Any questions? Contact Cara Sievers atcsievers@mca.edu. Good luck!

4) Invitation from Cara Sievers
Cara Sievers, the new Director of College Communications, would like to invite any and all faculty to stop be her office for an introductory chat. She writes: “I really want to become an ally to faculty in every way possible, so I want everyone to know that my door is always open.”
5) MCA Virtual Bookstore and NEW Deadline for Ordering
MCA Virtual Bookstore will be using a virtual online bookstore. Students can purchase or rent new and used books. Students will eventually be able to use future refund money to buy textbooks in advance (no more waiting on refund checks!!). All MCA textbooks will be required to be purchased through the bookstore. Only books that for some reason cannot be offered by Follett can be obtained another way by our teachers. (This doesn't mean students cannot use other sources for buying books, but we'd like to drive the traffic through this source.)
Everyone must log in and request books or click on “no materials required” for each class/section that you teach.
May 15, 2012 is the deadline for faculty to go online and order their texts. This early deadline ensures our students better pricing.
If you were unable to attend the April 18 training session and need assistance using the virtual bookstore, please contact Ashley Walker for more information.
6) Number:Inc
Number: the regional journal of the visual arts needs supporter/sponsors through tax deductible donations.
Number: has been published for 25 years and currently provides quarterly coverage of the visual arts in TN, AR, and MS through its free publication. It is run completely by volunteers. Donations support the costs associated with printing and to pay writers. One way to think about donations is that $50 covers a regional update, $100 pays for a review, and $200 pays for a feature or interview.
All donations are tax deductible and sponsors of $25 or more are listed in each issue of Number. To make a donation, send a check to Number: Inc. PO Box 11008, Memphis, TN 38111-1008 or give to Jennifer Gonzales.
