Stewart, <br>It's no problem at all. I put it out there on the off-chance you might be free. <br>We'd be happy to have you on May 10th if that time works for you. Let us know also if you'd like to meet with a couple of us before then, even if just briefly for coffee or something. Otherwise we'll plan to see you May 10th at 5. <br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">I apologize that I wasn't able to get to the meeting tonight. The next week or so is quite busy with end of the year school business but Monday May 10th might work. Is that a time that would work for you all?<div>

We're always working to expand our interaction with professors, classes, students, and departments, and over the past year or two our "Community Connections" working group has taken over a point of contact role to connect folks like yourself with opportunites within our organization. For example, this spring we coordinated a Learning IN Community class who volunteered at UCIMC, and several Media Studies interns earning course credit through their work with us. Architecture seems like a great addition. <br>
<br>In addition to the projects you mentioned, we have had some discussion about the potential projects, needs, etc. that your students might take on. At the IMC each working group has some area of interest and autonomy, and come together for group decision-making and consensus. In this case the potential projects cross into the domain of several working groups, and they are copied on this message.<br>
<br>We would be pleased to meet with you to discuss our organizational needs and how a partnership with you and the School of Architecture could help address the needs and provide a meaningful, practical community engagement experience for your students. Based on the initial internal discussion we've had on this, we think there are some unique design challenges for your students to get involved in.<br>
<br>Our Community Connections group meets each Monday beginning at 5pm at the IMC. This may be short notice for tomorrow, April 26, but if you were able to come we could put this potential partnership on the agenda. If there is a more convenient time for you, we could also work with your schedule. Let us know and we'll look forward to hearing from you.<br>

After visiting your space a few times, it occured to me that you might benefit from some well designed desks/shelves that could become a project for me and some students. Our school does projects like this all the time, but usually for things internal to the University. However, it might be a great opportunity for you to gain some nice furniture and other constructions, and for us to design and get experience for our students. It might even be like a design/build studio that runs over the summer. We also have access to some recycled material that could be used in interesting new ways, cutting time and cost to a minimum. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are interested in something like this please let me know. We can discuss the particulars and I can show you some examples of what I have in mind. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your time,</div>
