Trivia question of the day!

Happy Peace Corps week! The trivia question of the day is "over the years, Peace Corps has had many different slogans. What are two of them?" Think you know the answer? Stop by 200-b Bascom or come the tonight's application workshop in 55 Bascom to claim a prize. There are still spots in the workshop so even though registration has closed, feel free to attend.

Happy Peace Corps week! The trivia question of the day is "Who was the first Peace Corps director and who is the current Peace Corps director?" Think you know the answer? Stop by advising hours/info table on the first floor of Memorial Union between 11:30 and 1:30 today and win a prize. Or stop by 200-B Bascom--maybe the recruiter will be there.

Peace Corps week is the first week of March! Be sure to put this annual event, the Story Slam, on your calendar now. The theme this year is "Why Peace Corps?" Who knows, maybe one of the stories will inspire your why.
