Thanks to a $6 million gift from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, Agnes Scott College will transform its historic Campbell Hall from science labs into an innovative living and learning community.  

The planned renovation will create state-of-the-art academic and instructional facilities on the ground and first floors and suite-style rooms for up to 96 students on the second and third floors. The renovation will be designed to meet the standards for LEED Silver certification for green building design.

Agnes Scott College has a new logo!  “What’s up with” it?

Luckily, ASC has a webpage that answers just that question.

Thanks to Steve for the link!

My beloved scooter was stolen from my driveway on South Candler Street near Agnes Scott sometime between 10pm on June 19th and 7pm on June 20th. It is a red 2008 TGB Laser R9. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos of my specific scoot, but it’s all stock and is identical to the photos I’ve attached to this email, save for a few small details: the decals on my scoot say “LASER R9″ instead of “LASER R5″, I had a black plastic milk crate bolted to the rear rack, there are a few scuff marks on the right handlebar end, and a 3″ long crack crack in the plastic handlebar cover next to the brake fluid reservoir. Sadly, I did not have any band stickers or other unique markings on it.

It had a Georgia tag when it was stolen, the thieves have probably removed that by now, but the VIN is still registered in my name. The bike is a 150cc scooter and so is much taller, wider, and longer than the 50cc ones that are allowed to run without tags. If you see a suspiciously large red scooter with no plates, take a closer look; it might be mine.

Any tips or sightings (including suspicious Craigslist ads) should be reported to the Decatur Police Department and/or Agnes Scott Police (the theft occurred on Agnes Scott-owned property). I’d appreciate it if tipsters would drop me a line at hinklem@gmail.com as well.

The Fugees Family out in Clarkston (http://www.fugeesfamily.org/) is holding their summer academic boot camp at Agnes Scott through July 16th. Every weekday 70 plus kids will be cycling from Clarkston to Decatur and back – usually around 9 am and 2:30 pm. Bicycle South helped get their bikes ready and we “recycled” a number of bikes for them – donated to us from Decatur residents. This is the fourth year of the camp and since the Fugees Family has no storage space they have to gather bikes together each year in time for the start. I’ll put out an alert to the community next spring for any bike donations as we’re going to keep helping them with this program. The Fugees Family is a great organization working to help out the many refugee children who’ve settled in Clarkston. It’s a great story and folks should check out their web site for more information.

Please note: Bicycle South is a DM Sponsor

No Decaf came across this “most famous moment” from the old quiz show “College Bowl” via a Slate article about quiz bowls last night…
