[civsa] listserv Digest, Vol 27, Issue 17

Mon Apr 21 08:57:33 CDT 2014

Marymount sends out a sign up for Finals Week.  Our Ambassadors have to
work 4 hours a week each semester so during finals we just have them sign
up for 4 hours around their  finals schedule.  We have never had a problem
covering our tours this way.  Good luck and hooray for the end of the
semester!
