Testimonial Update

Hey guys:

The following is a letter I sent to the communication professors requesting their help in gathering testimonials. The next step is to sign up for a class and explain our motive, goal, and distribute/collect note cards in the first 10 minutes of class. I will attach the schedule of communication classes. If you can represent our group for any number of classes please post which you will be going to. We will leave envelopes with the class name, place and time on the table where the staff mailboxes are in the comm dept. Please pick up your envelope before the class, and then drop off the responses in the envelope in the folder (also on the table). Sorry if this is confusing. Shoot Dan or me any questions you might have!

Thanks,
Madeleine 09

Dear Communication Professors,

We are writing to you on behalf of Dr. Eric Saranovitz. Speaking for a group of concerned students, we request your help in taking steps to rectify this unfortunate situation.

To date we have organized a multi faceted response with respect to Eric's appeal. In addition to setting up an initial and several follow up meetings with Dr. Knobel we plan to compile testimonials that express student's feelings toward Eric, and speak to the quality of his pedagogy and significance as a professor in the communication department.

To effectively and efficiently gather these testimonials we would appreciate the opportunity to visit your classes. We would like to take five to ten minutes to explain our goal and motive, and have the students write down personal experiences as we feel they will be beneficial in Eric's appeal process. Participation will be requested on a strictly volunteer basis.

We recognize that we need to be time conscious in this matter and therefore would like this to happen Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, or Friday the 4th. Please let me know if this poses a problem for you or the class. We appreciate your time and value your participation.

Sincerely and respectfully,

Madeleine Katz 09, Dan Sweatt 09, and Concerned Students
