General Comments

"Just a note of appreciation. I wanted to tell you how much I love teaching my Comm 101 class. I think I'm doing a good job, but I really owe the department at ENMU a lot. I'm comfortable with the curriculum, I know the material, and I feel prepared for this. I may/not be asked to teach another class here and no doubt there's room for improvement, but it's been a wonderful experience because of the education I received at ENMU. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it. P.S. My son, Eric Irvin, has received scholarships and is attending ENMU this fall. He's going to try out for the football team even though he only started playing his senior year. (He did make the 6-man all star team and will play for the North All Stars in June.) – ENMU graduate assistant

"This photo is too precious and must be shared with the rest of the world!" – ENMU employee (referring to boy and dog photo in last week's Monday Memo)
