Would you like a little help getting there?

The Sponsor Future Leaders Program Presents: A F r e e A ir fa r e L o tte r y

Wednesday, February 17 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Alden Memorial Refreshments will be served Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eligible: All students who have been accepted to complete an offcampus project (IQP, MQP or Sufficiency) for a full unit of credit at a residential site from Term E 1999 to Term D 2000. Students must be on site for a full seven-week term.

What's Covered? The cost of round-trip airfare to off-campus sites that require air travel from Worcester. Sites that can be reached in a day's car trip from Worcester (for example, Boston and Hartford) are not included.

How Does it Work? Students, names will be drawn at the lottery for free airfare. The winners will be asked to attend a luncheon on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at noon in Riley Commons, where conditions for accepting the airfare will be announced. Those conditions may include participating in a one-day leadership workshop and submitting written reflections about the overseas project experience. Winners will also have the opportunity to publish creative work resulting from their off-campus experience.
