Hello everyone!
There will be a chemistry club meeting tomorrow at 1pm (Tuesday the
28th of April) whereat we will be discussing the Chem Day results as
well as performing a demonstration.  The demonstration is the “Briggs-
Rauscher Reaction”, and consists of a solution which changes colors
from clear to amber and black several times for approximately five
minutes.  This reaction occurs because of competing species of iodine
in solution, and there will be a handout available with details
regarding the reaction for your private inquisition.  I apologize for
the extremely short notice as I appear to have somehow erred in sending
this sooner over the weekend.  There will be food and drinks for anyone
who can make it, as well as a discussion regarding a finale for the end
of the semester.
Secretary of MSCC,

Folks,
As you may or may not be aware, part of the Auraria Campus Master Plan includes the centralization of the three schools (Metro, CCD, CUD) into neighborhoods.  Metro’s neighborhood is the parking lot next to the Tivoli (north of the old parking garage).  The first building is in the design process and is expected to cost around $52 million, with approximately $10 million in back-fill renovation of vacated space.  The first building is being designed as a “one stop shop” for student needs, housing nearly all student support services plus administration, the First Year Success program, classrooms, lounges (which will be designed with student input), etc.

Please visit the Metro State is Rising website at http://MetroStateRising.com for more information.  There are links for the Fact Sheet and Neighborhood Master Plan on the right side of the screen.

MOST IMPORTANTLY:  This first building will be payed for with an increase of student fees.  This increase can only be passed by student vote.  Please visit the website and vote in favor of the building.  There is a very informative FAQ page, and it highlights the fact that even after the proposed fee increase, Metro is still the best deal in the state!

The SGA elections happen on April 13-17, and students will receive an email to their mscd.edu account asking for their vote on this issue.  Please look for this email!

I’d be happy to answer any questions,
Dr. Ball
