Also, I found a laptop charger in the auditorium after class on Monday. If you are missing a charger, please let me know. Lastly, please try to leave the auditorium in good shape after class. The auditorium has been recently renovated and it is in great condition. There is usually paper and notes that are left and last Monday there were even fingernails on one of the desk. Please pick up your trash and please don't leave any part or your body behind after class.
