March 7 An Important Date

On Wednesday March 7 Banner (software company) will visit the school and put on a show. It is important that faculty attend. It is especially important that we attend between 10:45 AM and 2:00 pm. During this time they will demonstrate "We’ll see what the system looks like through the perspective of the student, of the faculty, and of the staff".
I have class on Wednesday between 9:40 to 2:00 pm, and I am hoping that others attend.
Below I have copied, pasted, and highlighted the schedule
