Dear Faculty and Staff,

As we near the end of the spring semester, we at the Magner Center would like to announce the final two Professional Skills Training events. Because you have been so cooperative in the past by nominating students for Dale Carnegie events, we ask you once again to send this to your students. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and we truly believe your students can benefit from the following events.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Michael
