EXTRA 5% on your next test??

St. John's College has been invited to collaborate with BELIPO to arrange a
presentation for students and faculty concerning copyright, creativity and
innovation. The presenter, Mary Ann Richards, is a WIPO Consultant and
Chair of the WIPO CARICOM Working Group on Traditional Knowledge,
Traditional Cultural Expressions and Genetic Resources. The date for the
presentation is Tuesday April 12 at 10: 50 -12:00.

The presentation is an effort to increase public awareness given that
copyright issues are fast becoming of great relevance to several industries
including Press and Literature, Music, Theatrical Productions, Radio and
Television, Photography, Visual and Graphic Arts, Related Professional and
Technical Services, Software, Databases and New Media, and Advertising
Services. In addition it involves support Industries such as architecture,
engineering, surveying, broadcasting, communication, and sales of
copyright-based activities.

These issues affect us all, lets take this opportunity to be properly
informed. You are asked to attend the presentation.

Please note that the copyright presentation scheduled for Tuesday April 12
at 10: 50 -12:00, will be held at the chapel.

I will be there to take note of the people who attend this informative session.
There is a very strong possibility that any of my students who attend will be awardedand extra 5% to their next test grade. :-)
