Have you ever served as an AmeriCorps member??

If so, this is for YOU! We are currently starting a new student organization to bring together AmeriCorps alumni currently attending Indiana University.

The AmeriCorps Alumni Association (AAA) will be housed in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) but is open to all IU students who have previously been or currently are AmeriCorps members.

**Our aim is to connect, support and mobilize AmeriCorps alums to strengthen our community and nation by promoting a lifetime of service.**

If you are an AmeriCorps alumni, please join us for our inaugural meeting to establish the mission and structure of the group. Tuesday, September 11th from 5:30 to 6:30pm in the Dean's Conference Room (Rm 301 in SPEA). PIZZA WILL BE SERVED!!!

Want to meet faculty who have a vested interest in AmeriCorps Alumns like you??

SPEA professors, Dr Leslie Lenkowsky and Dr. David Reingold will both be in attendance.

---Dr. Lenkowsky was appointed by President Clinton in 1993 as one of the founding directors of the Corporation of National and Community Service. Then in 2001, he returned to the Corporation under President Bush. More info:
