Philadelphia Urban Seminar Recruiting Meeting November 4

There will be a recruiting/informational meeting for the Philadelphia Urban Seminar on November 4, 2009, at 5:00 p.m. in Beard Auditorium, Stouffer Hall.

The credits may be substituted depending on your department for EDUC 242 (one credit), EDUC 342 (one credit) and EDUC 499 (two credits) or used for special electives. See department for exceptions.
