Group leaders needed – Grad students? Others?      

• Can you lead a group of ~5 undergrads? It is easy!! Please tell Alyssa Young or Kathryn Bloodworth (our grad student PPPC representatives for this semester) if you can help.

For faculty sending students from their classes:

• If you would like to encourage your students to participate, please email Dr. Lacey so that we can discuss how many of your students we can handle. We want students to have a positive experience, and we have to limit the number that we can accommodate. (max.= 60) Thanks.
• If you plan to give students credit for attending, please arrange for someone to take attendance.

Your contributions do make a difference!!
