Teach for America

To all Graduating in 2010 or below (Juniors, Sophmores, and Freshmen) following is a letter from Lee Robbins the Recruitment Associate for Teach For America:

I am writing to encourage you to consider the Campus Campaign Coordinator position, for which we are currently hiring for the 2009-2010 academic year. Campus Campaign Coordinators (CCCs) are undergraduate students who play a critical role in effecting social change by inspiring outstanding students on their campuses to join Teach For America. CCCs develop and execute a strategic plan to recruit talented and diverse students to apply to Teach For America, build support for Teach For America and issues surrounding educational inequity through event planning and relationship-building on campus, and increase Teach For America's visibility on campus through the execution of mass publicity strategies (e-mail, campus press, hanging posters and flyers, etc.).

Our team is accepting applications through March 27. If you have any questions about the position please feel free to contact Lee Robbins at lee.robbins@teachforamerica.org Below you will find the link where you can read more about the position and apply. I do hope you will consider this great opportunity to influence change.
Take care,
Lee

The American Play

Suzan-Lori Parks (who visited IU last year as our Ralph L.
Collins Memorial Lecturer) has written a play that truly espouses her
vision. "History-the destruction and creation of it through theater pieces
and how Black people fit into all of this-is my primary concern."

Meet the Foundling Father, an African American man dressed as Abraham
Lincoln as he works the Hall of Wonders allowing tourists of all kinds to
"assassinate" him over and over. He is quite chummy with the regulars. As
THE AMERICA PLAY dissects Abraham Lincoln's story it opens up a great hole
in our culture. This is an opportunity to see what's in the hole and share
in a truly unique theatrical experience.

Directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe, THE AMERICA PLAY opens Friday, March
27, at 7:30 p.m. and continues Saturday, March 28, and Tuesday through
Saturday, April 4.

In addition to the performance, we invited you to Circle Sunday. This
Sunday, March 29, Professor Marlon M. Bailey will present "Buried History in
THE AMERICA PLAY." Circle Sunday takes place at 3:00 p.m. Sunday March 29 in
the Wells-Metz Theatre. This event is free and open to anyone. We hope you
will spread the word.

No matter what performance you see, we invited you back Tuesday, March 31,
after the show for a talk-back with the cast and director (maybe a designer
or two) where you can ask questions and share your thoughts about the show.

Ticket prices range from $12-$20. For ticket information call the IU
Auditorium Box Office at 855-1103 or Order tickets online at
theatre.indiana.edu.

For more information about the show, meet the cast, see the press release

McCray, just click on this link
