Full speed ahead!

Amazing how time flies! Things are moving right along here in the Teacher Recruitment Office. We have been busy working on the Open House scheduled for October 25, 2008 and Opening Doors to Teaching which is scheduled for November 11, 2008. Opening Doors to Teaching is going to be a event where prospective teacher licensure students can learn more about our program. This program is open to current UNCA Students, post-baccs, prospective undergraduates and transfers. The event will take place from 4pm until 7:00pm. For more information or to register please e-mail teach@unca.edu.

Whitney is 8 years old but spent the first 5 years of her life in a cage in a shelter. A chance encounter at a Petsmart Adoption a few years back, and Whitney finally had a home. She was barely 4lbs when she became ours but we are happy to report she is nearing the 7lbs. Here's a picture:
