BARRET GIFT TO SUPPORT THEATRE RENOVATION
The Paul W. Barret, Jr. School of Banking has awarded $300,000 to CBU to help transform the 46-year-old CBU Theatre into a 21st century educational and performance facility. When renovated, the new University Theatre will serve as a venue not only for the theatre arts but also a hi-tech meeting space for business programs and seminars. The theatre will also be made available to the general public for musical presentations, film screenings, symposia, and lectures. Technological additions, including wireless Internet access, a control podium, and a digital video projection system are planned.
   The renovation project is scheduled to begin November 1 and be completed by March 31. The Office of Advancement has initiated a campaign for raise additional funds for the project. Interested individuals who would like to support the theatre renovation project should contact Andrew Prislovsky at 901-321-3278.

MESSAGE FROM BROTHER VINCENT
As John Kerr (Advancement, Communications & Marketing) prepares to leave CBU and assume his new position at Spring Hill College in Mobile, AL, I would like to take a moment to express our appreciation for his fine contributions over the past four and three quarters years.
  During his tenure at CBU, John:
• rebuilt and strengthened media relationships for the university
• initiated relationships with national news monitoring services and national newswires
• initiated the Marketing and Communications Report to the President in 2004 with Br. Terence McLaughlin
• implemented a "media buying" system for advertising saving CBU thousands of dollars each year
• developed a crisis communication plan
• worked to promote the importance of improved campus safety and recommended and ensured the 2003 campus safety audit and report.
   We especially appreciate the excellent video presentation on the University, which John conceived and directed, which was shown at the President’s Workshop.
   John’s last day will be September 15. There will be a Campus Farewell Party on Wednesday, August 30, in the Canale Skybox, 2:30-3:30 p.m. All are welcome!
