The nice folks at Westtoast.com have written up this year’s Brew-Off, and CGE’s victory, in pretty epic fashion. A taste:
With our crack team assembled we ascended to the Oddfellows Hall into the brew milieu, commemorative pint glasses in hand. We were greeted with delightful chaos – the 25 brewers circled up at tables peddling their wares, a cheerful crowd sampling and enjoying the night. We spread out and got going. It was hard to choose what to try first – IPA, nut brown, amber, golden, porter…the offerings were diverse. My wino sensibility wanted to organize flavors before diving in, but given the energy of the night and my own eagerness, I opted to just start tasting.

Good news!! The Graduate School has agreed to have tuition for e-campus courses covered by our tuition waivers (it was previously excluded). This is a subject CGE bargained over in the last round of contract negotiations, and we’re pleased to see that the Graduate School has now recognized the need and responded to it. The financial impact of this move will be evaluated on a one year trial run basis, but we’re hopeful that it will represent permanent progress on this front.
