Thinking Matters needs our help! Here's an opportunity to serve within the USM community:
Next Friday, April 30th, USM's annual symposium of student research, scholarship, and creative activity will present the work of dozens of students in poster and oral sessions throughout the day. The planning committee depends upon volunteer support on the "day of," to help with set up and break down and a whole lot in between. Here's a list of times and tasks, all with support from the Thinking Matters planning committee:

As an added incentive, I'll remind us all that Civic Matters, our annual symposium of student community engaged work, was born as a stream within Thinking Matters and became an independent civic engagement event last year with the strong support of the Thinking Matters planning committee. Here's an opportunity for us to put our gratitude for that lineage into action!
If you can volunteer an hour or the whole day, or anything in between, please e-mail Renee Gravelle ,
