June 8th - 14th

Howdy from HOW!

Welcome to Hunter Online Weekly's second issue! HOW is an experimental new project brought to you by members of the Hunter Life Committee. HOW aims to deliver news about the community to the community—students, faculty, and parents. HOW is a weekly email containing the upcoming week's activities, events, and other important information. If you'd like to make an announcement to HOW, please see the bottom of this post or read the introduction letter and FAQ. Thanks for the positive feedback about our first issue!

New this week-- the Hunter Online Weekly blog! Check it out at http://hunteronlineweekly.blogspot.com/. It is also available as a link on the HCHS website under the quick links section.

This is the last full week of classes for the 2008-2009 school year and many of the events this week celebrate Hunter students' achievements. Below you will find this week's announcements about Clubs, Publications, Athletic Association, Term Councils, Departments, Performances, and Looking Ahead.

Elections!!!

Date/Time: Wednesday, June 10th, 11:30 AM

Details: Democracy FTW! We couldn't fit elections into the regular schedule, so we need to hold them on Wednesday. If you are unable to make it that day, please email me personally, and I will send you a list of candidates on Wednesday so you can vote. (Sorry I can't do more to protect the absentees' anonymity, but I don't see any other options.) Elected officials will be announced on Wednesday night. We (the coordinating officers) pledge our utmost integrity.
