topics to "What is your motivation?". They do this by placing posters
throughout CRCE in high traffic areas that will grab the students
attention. They need your help by joining their focus groups (not a large
time commitment) to critique their previous posters and give them fresh,
creative, and new ideas for the two new posters they will create this
year. They welcome both males & females. This is your opportunity to
have your voices heard! Please call Abby Blankenberger at 333-7667 or
