Capstone College Students in the Digital Arts Department at Capstone College in San Francisco are just completing their 10-month program. As part of their graduation requirements, the students exhibit samples of their work in a class exhibition. You work as a program assistant for the Digital Arts Department and need to invite all faculty members to the exhibition. You open the message that your predecessor wrote the year before and discover that some rewriting and formatting are required before you can send the message to faculty members to advertise the current exhibition. To complete this case study, you rewrite the invitation asking the staff to attend the graduating class exhibition.

1. Open the file Case1_01.docx located in the Project.01 folder included with your Data Files, and then save the document as Graduating Class Exhibition in the same folder.

2. Read the message and consider ways to improve the writing style and organization.

3. Rewrite paragraph 1 so that it invites faculty to the exhibition. You can remove most of the existing text and extend the invitation in the first sentence.

4. Modify paragraph 2 so that it clearly communicates the following information about the exhibition:

a. Date is two weeks after the current date

b. Time is 6 p.m.

c. Location is the Digital Arts Department on the fifth floor of the Maple Building 5. Rewrite paragraph 3 to improve its tone. You might find that you can eliminate almost all of paragraph 3 and replace it with a friendly request to attend the exhibition and show support for the students.
6. Use the Spelling & Grammar feature to find and correct grammar errors in the message, and then read the message carefully to find and correct any errors that the Spelling & Grammar checker did not identify.
7. Read the revised message carefully. Consider how the reader will react to the content. Will the reader feel pleased to attend the exhibition? Can the reader quickly identify the information about the exhibition? Remember, you can use bullets or indents to present the details about the exhibition if you want.
8. Include your name in the footer as indicated, print a copy of the document, save the document, and then close it.
