My Professor is a Winner....

I sent the following email to the class the other day:

MGT 440 class:

Tomorrow, Tuesday (10/2), from 9:00-10:30am, in the VUCA, Governor MitchDaniels (IN) will be visiting campus specifically to have informalconversation with VU students. I've been told
that there will be roughly100-200 (ish) students at this event. I'd like to invite anyone in this MGT-440 class to attend this event - it may be interesting and helpful as weconsider leadership styles in practice.

The Governor's office expressed specific interest in students who have aninterest in international relations and/or public policy & service fields.This time is specifically for informal questions & answers by and among VUstudents and Governor Daniels.

This event is closed (private) to community members; attendance is limited to VU attendees, and the event is open to all VU students. You are welcometo invite other students to join you for this event. However, no outsidepress will be invited, and I ask that you refrain from disseminating thisinformation to outside sources and/or community members.Feel free to just
show up!

Hope to see you there. Let me know if you have questions....

Cheers,
Matt Cavin

The professor sent an email to the class today, reading:

Dear Class, on Monday, October 8, Matt Cavin will be attending our MGT 440B class (and is going to do something radical, for him, by actually arriving on time for once). This event is closed (private) to community members; attendance is limited to VU attendees, and the event is open to all VU students. You are welcometo invite other students to join you for this event. However,
no outside press will be invited, and I ask that you refrain from disseminating this information to outside sources and/or community members -- cross-cultural management is a very, very important subject and, as the good book says, we don't want to "cast our pearls before swine" by wasting it on and including the local red neck peasants. All the best, JMS
