Dear Jacobs Community,

This week's Jacobs newsletter contains some reminders about upcoming opportunities, like next week's Jacobs Design Showcase (December 7-9), as well as some exciting new events, like Internodes, our graduating MDes students' graduate exhibition (December 15-16).

Also, please take heed of our administrative reminders like taking all of your materials out of the building by December 16; anything left behind will be discarded.

Lastly, alumni who are on this mailing list--we are looking for a full-time Student Engagement Manager to join our team--please check out the announcement and spread the word!

Best,

Amy

CLEAR OUT YOUR MATERIALS FROM JACOBS HALL BY DEC 16

This is an early reminder to make plans to remove all of your personal materials from Jacobs Hall maker spaces and teaching studios before we close for the semester on December 16th at 7pm. It is important that our team has the opportunity to reset the space for the spring semester, so we cannot allow for between-semester storage of materials or projects in any of our teaching or maker spaces.
