[CCoE Notice] Career Fair on February 8th

[Shattuck, David P]

To the Instructors in Engineering,
	There is a Career Fair coming up on Wednesday, February 8th.  You will likely receive an invitation concerning your attending this event; this email is NOT that invitation.
	Rather, this is a request made at the urging of our students.  Many of the students use the Career Fair as a step towards getting a job, on which they appropriately place a high priority.  Some may even choose to miss a class, despite the clear risk this involves.  I cannot directly condone that value judgment.  However, I can ask that you consider whether you might be willing to change the date of a quiz or other similar assessments to another day other than February 8th, if that does not significantly affect your course and its effectiveness.
	If you read my careful wording here, it should be clear that all choices are up to you.  All such choices are, indeed, entirely up to you.  For myself, I am planning to postpone the second quiz in my own course, but will lecture during the full period.  You should do what you think is appropriate for your course.
