To celebrate their new home on NMC Campus Teaching sim, Monroe College is inviting you to put on your western duds and join them for a whole day of activities Sunday, July 22. In fact, they will include a hay ride tour to their neighbors on this educational rental island.

Look for the events at Teaching (149,186,21) .

According to our message from Bobbie Allen, this is a celebration of Monroe’s ongoing work of the Office of Online Learning Internships.

The Monroe College hay wagon and horse will start around NMC’s Teaching Island starting at Monroe College every hour on the hour, starting at 9am (SLT/PDT) with the last ride beginning at 4 pm. It will make stops at the following locations on the island where you can disembark or embark before returning to the Monroe SL campus.

• Start: Monroe College
• Stop 1: New York University
• Stop 2: Harper College
• Stop 3: Sloan Consortium
• Stop 4: Darton College

Grab your partner and dosado! Square dance to the music and calls of the Monroe College Country Band. Come dressed for a hoe down. Ladies and gents, we will have dance dresses and other western outfits for you to use if you don’t know what to wear.

A Texas barbecue will be cookin’ up all the ribs, dogs, and burgers you can eat. The barbecue is next to the tent that is covering the dance floor. When you can’t eat any more, join the dancers on the floor and burn off all those calories.

Go into the Monroe College Online Learning Internship office and be greeted by our interns, who will give you lots of information about Monroe and the Online Learning Internship program. Sit around in the Student Union or the Interns’ Lounge (upstairs) and chat all day. Visit the Office of the Internship Director and leave your calling card.
