Wonderful, Dominic, thanks for your help! I will let you know when the date is finalized and we can talk details. I'd love to talk with you about other initiatives as well--I've got some ideas for the summer/fall...Jenny

Yes! So happy to see my alma mater doing this! Congrats to Jennifer..who has been down the long road, I'm sure, of convincing a legendary institution of the importance of all of this.Wish I could be there in April! I'll perhaps volunteer from afar :) (And you are in great hands with Dominic!)-Sarah--On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 1:29 PM, Jyothis E <jyothis.e@gmail.com> wrote:
I cannot guarantee at this moment, as too many things rolling at the same time for me, but would be interested to be kept in the loop, and will try to swing by if I get the selected day to breath a bit.Regards,

Hi Jenny,I am Wikimedia DC's Cultural Partnerships Coordinator, and I have experience with this sort of event. I would be happy to assist. I am also planning to attend the March editathon, so I will be seeing you then. I would be interested in meeting with you and any other staff not just to plan for this event, but also to talk about the bigger picture and how I can help you with future Wikimedia–GW Libraries collaborative projects.Thanks!--Dominic McDevitt-Parks

_______________________________________________Many thanks,The campus office that organizes student events is excited about the possibility of this event and would help us promote it on campus. I'm hoping this will get us a pretty great turnout. Is there a Wikimedian who would be willing to be our expert guide on one of these dates? We'll be providing either lunch or some coffee and snacks, and I'd be happy to pull out some treasures from the University Archives (such as a letter re: slavery from 19th century students, surgical instruments from our infamous lobotomist, and a football uniform from when we had a team!)Hi Wikimedians!We are very excited for the upcoming DC History editathon. We have been discussing the possibility of holding an "All Things GW" editathon on April 13 or 20 to engage GW students and alumni. We would likely make this a shorter event, from 12 or 12:30-4, since it's a busy time of year for students.
