Fall Open Photo Session
Monday August 17, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
Hello, colleagues!

No pressure, no requirements, but if you need an updated headshot, stop by before Convocation on Monday.

Details
This is a super quick, low-pressure way to get a new photo for your website personnel profile or to have an image on-hand for the next time a publisher requests a headshot.

Here's how it works: you come to the Welcome Center, share your name and email address, and I take some quick photos for you. A few days later I'll share the images with you, and you get to decide what to do with them. It'll take less than 10 minutes of your time—add it to your to-do list for August, and you'll have one item you can cross off with minimal effort!
