MPA Club October Meeting
8:45pm – VC 3-240
October 19, 2011

Join us for the October Club Meeting. We will have great info about upcoming events, review highlights from our volunteer weekend with NYCares, and much more!

Like last time, the meeting will begin more like 8:45, so those coming from classes packed with amazing public affairs goodness won’t be rushed.

Also, this meeting IS IN THE VERTICAL CAMPUS, not the 22nd St. building. Look for us on the 3rd floor, room 3-240, on the West side of the building. See you then!
