Get involved with International Impact!

International Impact (a registered student organization) sends students abroad every semester.  This year, we want to do things a little differently, so one project is specifically designed to research and test out a few new programs in South America.  These will vary from organized volunteer programs to community organizations.  International Impact would be delighted if any members of EWB are interested in participating in this venture! If you're interested or would like more information, contact internationalimpactatgmail [dot] com.

New Publicity Committee!

8:00 - 8:30 pm Wednesday January 25th 112 Eng. Hall

EWB-UIUC is proud to announce that the events/publicity committee now has two separate identities.  =)  The publicity committee will likely meet shortly after the events committee each week and in the same location -- however it's up to you!!  We'll decide at our first meeting.

We really want to get EWB's name out there this semester!
The main focus at the start of the semester will be the Progressive Career Fair- for which we will be designing and printing a professional billboard.  We will also be creating a public television program, writing radio announcements, and newspaper advertisements.  There are many opportunities for leadership in this committee!

Come help us out!  All majors are welcome!
