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
