They have visited the site, both Fort Riley hospitals, and are planning to visit Kramer Dining Hall and the K-State Bee Keeping facilities in the coming weeks.

COLOR+COUTURE

Color + Couture will not meet this week since the 3rd and 4th years are on field trips, but start thinking about how to construct our design for the next meeting. On Tuesday September 27th the Knoll Studio and Knoll Textile reps will be coming to Manhattan to give a short presentation about their products and participate in the design process for Color + Couture! This is the first time the manufacturer rep partners have come to Manhattan. It is very exciting and everyone is encouraged to come, even if you are not involved in Color + Couture. They will be bringing food/snacks for those who attend their presentation, and for that reason you will need to RSVP. Watch for the RSVP coming your way so they know how many will be attending. Exact time will be sent out with the RSVP, but it will be about a two hour time commitment in the evening.

Ask the Weigel staff how to complete that request.
