Okay, time to get this thread back on topic.
Things are looking up. I visited around the department today, spreading good cheer and influencing people as best I could.
The person you want to send emails to is Louise Plummer.
[email protected] She is on our side. I tell you to email her because she's the one calling the meeting next week to discuss the class, and she wants your emails as firepower and evidence. So, here's what I want you to do:
If you are a former student at BYU, write her an email telling her how the SF program (particularly this writing class) helped you. Try to keep your emails positive, but give her some testimonials she could show the rest of the department to get the to believe how valuable this class was to us.
If you know anyone who was planning to take the class, please get in touch with them and have them email Louise! These emails will be even more important, since they are indicative of the interest in the class. Have them write to her and tell her how much they were looking forward to the class, and why they wanted to take it!
The rest of you (Entropy, TFO, Ninja Monkeys,) I'd ask that you would kindly refrain from sending Louise random emails. Email her only if you've taken the class, or want to.
Thanks!
