Volunteers sought

The Department of Public Information is looking for faculty and staff who do volunteer work in the community, to be included in an upcoming story on that topic.

Employees who serve on the boards of local, nonprofit organizations, coach youth sports teams or volunteer in the community in other ways should contact Amy Neil at aen4@psu.edu.

For the Record

Due to a source error, an incorrect photo accompanied an arts and entertainment brief about a quilt exhibit at the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus. The photo, which appeared on page 11 of the April 3 Intercom, is from the exhibit "Dressing the Spirit" by Martina Johnson-Allen, which is at the HUB-Gallery April 11 to July 13.
