Faculty/staff email, 10/24/2012:

Dear colleagues,

If you notice something that looks like a mini-helicopter hovering over the campus tomorrow, please do not be alarmed. Do not call Public Safety or the Wenham Police or the CIA. It’s not the War of the Worlds; it’s not the Rapture (and you’re not about to be Left Behind); it’s merely . . . Skycam, an electric remote helicopter camera for aerial filming and photography. Tomorrow Skycam will be taking photos and filming Gordon's campus for the Office of College Communications.
