What offices are closed?  Why? Are employees from throughout the District expected to attend a student convocation? Are faculty expected to attend?

The Community College will hold a student convocation January 9, 2019 on the Prescott Campus in the 1,100 seat dinner theater.  According to its calendar, some of the College offices are closed because of the convocation.

The questions raised by the short announcement include these: What offices are closed?  Only offices that are needed to run the convocation? Or others?  Are employees generally expected to close their office so they can attend the student event? What about faculty?

In the eyes of some, closing college offices that are not essential to the convocation, if that is the case, is an unnecessary waste of valuable employee time? Are they wrong?

To Blog critics, I agree this is a minor, picky point. However, taxpayers are paying for the college operation and need to be assured their money is being spent wisely.  Is it being spent wisely when some unnamed offices that are not essential to the running of the event are nevertheless closed? 

p.s.  Where are the PR announcements about the event?  Rumors are that newly hired president Dr. Lisa Rhine will address the students at the convocation.
