CHANGE THE WORLD THROUGH SPRING CLEANING

Want to make a difference to fellow communicators halfway around the world?   Take a moment to do a little spring cleaning and donate some of your communications resources (textbooks, manuals, CDs, DVDs) for the first media and communication resource center in Ethiopia.

The resource center, sponsored by the Population Media Center (PMC), is open to any professional communicator in Ethiopia and serves the general business community in Addis Ababa. The goal of the Population Media Center is to improve the health and well-being of people around the world through the use of entertainment-education strategies. 

To learn more, visit http://www.populationmedia.org/who/

The donation box is in front of Dr. Natalie Tindall's office (Gaylord Room 3021).

Take a few minutes to share your knowledge with fellow communicators around the world!
