Into the Streets is a national program designed to introduce students to thoughtful community service and to provide a learning experience that will challenge them to volunteer on a regular basis. The ongoing goal of Into the Streets is to stengthen student capacities to solve the problems we face as a society. We recognize that this goal will only be accomplished through sustained and persistent action and in partnership with many different individuals and institutions.

March 19-25: A week of community service and educational programming (speakers, forums, films, etc.) focused on specific issues in our community.

Any club or individual wishing to participate in a group service project during Into the Streets please stop by or call the ACT office at 262-2193. All faculty, staff, and students are invited and encouraged to participate in this exciting week of service. If you have ideas or questions, or want more details about Into the Streets 1997, please contact the ACT office.

The Office of International Programs will be offering three seminars on U.S. Income Taxes specifically for international students. If you are an international student and need information on filing income taxes in the United States, please attend one of the following sessions.
