New Entry Way for the North Entrance

An entry light and curved entry signage wall are being built for the north entry to the campus. The entry light is the first phase of the project. The light and trellis are currently being fabricated and will be set in place by the end of August. The base of the structure will be finished with a stone veneer. The second phase of the project is to construct curved entry signage walls on both sides of the entry of Redwood Drive. The Campus Planning Committee approved the design for these new structures on May 8, 2003. For more information, contact Christopher Dinno, Senior Director of Facilities Management/Capital Planning, Design, and Construction, christopher.dinno@sonoma.edu.

Join the Listserv for Staff

Stafflink-L was created to enhance communication among staff from all over campus. Appropriate postings for this list include: general questions about campus or campus events, activities, etc.; soliciting solutions to problems encountered on the job, rumor control, organizing activities such as Staff Appreciation Day or the Halloween Party, Union meeting announcements; general announcements; volunteer opportunities; and other things such as carpooling, things to sell or letting people know there are puppies or kittens needing a good home.

It is hoped this forum will help staff get to know people from outside their specific areas and promote a unified feeling on campus. To subscribe, please go to https://webmail.sonoma.edu/mailman/listinfo/stafflink-l/.
