we will have a student hourly employee out at the main desk that you can check with in the afternoons, and I will be sure to follow up as needed the next week. It will be great having Avery Strathman and Hannah Loub back to help in the office. In addition
to our regular office duties, the office will be helping promote National Voter Registration Day, and registering to vote and voting, along with like minded departments and organizations, such as the Dole institute and the Center for Service Learning, this
year. Again, welcome, and welcome back, Jayhawks! -Linda Pickerel, Admin. Associate, Political Science (504D Blake Hall) lpicke@ku.edu kupols@ku.edu</span></b></div>
