Quick Notes for the Week of Nov. 15
Quick Notes is an email digest of timely information for De Anza students, faculty and staff. Watch for it in your inbox regularly.
Highlights
You could win a Surface Pro 7 by playing #VillageConnect: Have you discovered your Village yet? Your Village at De Anza is a place to meet friends, join fun activities and find resources that are relevant to your major and related subjects. This month, you can enter a drawing for a new Surface Pro 7 tablet computer by taking part in the #VillageConnect Gratitude Giveaway – but you must be enrolled in a Village Canvas site to enter. If you haven’t joined a Village yet, you can complete the short Village Selection form to join one now. You'll receive a Canvas invitation that you can accept to join the online scavenger hunt!
Every student who’s in a Village can click the “Play #VillageConnect” banner in Canvas to enter the drawing. One student in each Village will win a new Surface Pro 7 tablet computer with keyboard cover. Don’t delay! #VillageConnect ends Nov. 30. Got questions? Visit deanza.edu/villages or send an email to villages@deanza.edu.

LGBTQ+ students and employees are invited to participate by telling your stories about finding happiness, facing adversity or any experience you'd like to share in a video or audio interview – or, if you prefer, you may contribute anonymously by submitting a work of your own poetry, short prose or visual art that we can photograph and post on the CAN/DID website. We will honor your privacy.
