Family Weekend and we are accepting submissions until THIS FRIDAY (April 3)!

Submission guidelines are simple: Send full-size photographs of any subject to Steve Dean [sdean1@swarthmore.edu] by Friday, April 3rd.

If you want to submit film photographs, please send either Steve Dean or Miles Skorpen a copy via the Mail Room or hand it off to either of us in person.

After we receive submissions, we’ll select a limited number of photographs, and then matte them all (and, if funds allow, even frame a few). There is no limit to the number of photographs you can submit.
Submitters retain all rights to their photos.

See further details here: http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/photo-club/

If you are interested in helping with the show (matting, selecting
photographs, organizing) send me an email as soon as you can.

See you (or at least your pictures) at the show!

Global Health Forum, in partnership with SolesUnited and Crocs, Inc., is collecting Crocs and sending them to people living in Pémon, Venezuela in order to improve their health and quality of life.

So how do Crocs help improve people’s lives?
—Basic footwear improves hygiene and lowers rates of infections transmitted through barefeet, like tungiasis. These infections can greatly increase the risk of secondary infections, like tetanus, which can be lethal.

These infections are completely preventable—Please donate any available Crocs to be recycled and redistributed—collection begins after Spring Break!

Collection Bin Locations:

Shane Lounge
Sharples (top lobby)

(and as always, every little bit helps. GHF and the people of Pémon thank you!)

I lost my room key Saturday night. The key chain broke so it’s by itself. PLEASE let me know if you see it…
