<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Happy Friday! Hope the transfer orientation student advising meetings went great, as it did with the college meeting this morning. I would also like to introduce our newest CALS
advisor, Antonio Valenzuela, who will be advising AGTE and PLS majors in collaboration with faculty. Please help me in welcoming him to the CALS advising team – aav11@email.arizona.edu. CALS officially has professional academic advisors in all majors! This
assists not only our main purpose – students – but also faculty, the college and institution overall.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Along great notes, the Fall 201<span style="color:#1F497D">7</span> Agvisors Retreat will be held on
<b>Wednesday December 13<sup>th</sup> </b>from<b> 10:30am-4:30pm</b>. It will take place off campus at the
<a href="http://skylinecountryclub.com/">Skyline Country Club</a> located at <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:white">
5200 E St Andrews Dr, Tucson, AZ 85718</span>. It is 11 miles from campus (~28 minute drive). Morning snacks will be provided, with a catered mid-day lunch from the facility. Thank you for submitting your RSVP (<i>in reference to Amanda’s email</i>)<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-right:1.0in;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">
We have a full agenda inclusive of a lecture presentation and workshop. To assure all advisors in CALS know the scope of majors all across please come prepared to explain your major(s) as you would tell a prospective student interested in your program. A link
to an online form will be sent. The requested information will include prompts that may assist in coming up with your major(s) elevator speech/commercial, in case you do not already have one. It is important we are all aware of where to refer students that
have interdisciplinary interests or could benefit from a minor in….or dual major in…..etc. CALS has great diversity and awareness of all possibilities helps us better in our profession. Thank you in advance for preparing this. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As part of the December retreat this year, we’ll be having a “White-Cow” Gift Exchange (same thing as a White Elephant). Participation is optional. If you wish to participate, please bring a wrapped gift, cost ranging from $5-$10 for the
exchange. Outrageous, ridiculous, and re-gifted gifts are acceptable and encouraged. Thanks for considering!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have not experienced a White Elephant/White Cow Gift Exchange before, the way it works is:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span>Starting with the second person, you can either choose to steal someone else’s gift, or to open a new gift. The person who had their gift stolen opens a new gift.
