ARC Trivia Challenge!

It's back and better than ever!

Well, the trivia challenge will be different at least. While last year we piqued your mental interest with a question every day, this year we will post a weekly trivia question to test your mental prowess.

The question will be posted both outside our office (CUB 230) and here on the blog, for quick access anywhere, any time.

Entering your answer into the challenge has improved. We will still have a box for paper entries outside our office AND you can submit entries by replying to the question on our blog. If you reply on the blog, be sure to post your name, email, and answer. You will still only be allowed one entry per question(we keep track of these things...)

You may be asking, "Why should I participate in the ARC Trivia Challenge?" Here are some reasons:

• Learning is fun! Really, it is. We members of Team ARC love learning new things and hope to share that passion with you
• Impress your friends! It is always good to have a random fact tucked into the corner of your mind to pull out at dinner parties (or socials, pizza parties, study sessions...pretty much during any lull in conversation)
• Increase your chance of winning an awesome prize! Each correct entry into our Trivia Challenge will earn you one entry into our end of the semester drawing for a Livescribe Smartpen!

In conclusion, trivia is so close that you can almost taste it. So check the blog and stop by the board by CUB 230.

Stay curious,

Get organized!

The semester is just beginning but the assignments, commitments, and dates to remember are compounding upon each other at a ridiculous rate. Trust me when I say that while your memory may be one of the great wonders of this planet, do NOT trust it to remember all this important info.

GET A PLANNER! It doesn't have to be paper; it can be electronic. The IPhone now has a cool app called IHomework that apparently does all a planner does and more. I'm sure Droid, Voyager, Instict, or whatever crazy phone you have, has something similar if not even more fabulous. Some students use white boards in their room and keep a daily to-do list. Some people write with lipstick on their bathroom mirror (only do this if you are asking for grief from your roommates/hallmates). The point is, I don't care what it is, as long as it works for you and you actually use it!

Welcome back Hatters!!!

Change is in the air, no? ARC refuses to be left behind, so help us embrace what's changed about us!

First things first, we have moved to a NEW and IMPROVED location! We are now on the second floor of the CUB (look for the purple ARC letters) if offices 230 and 220. Come check us out and be impressed! THAT'S AN ORDER!

Also we have a new member of the ARC team. He's friendly, full of wisdom, and, if I may be quite frank, very handsome. His name is Archimedes, but he prefers to be called Archie, if you please.
Lastly, while we still be bringing you the old favs (word of the day and trivia) we will also be getting tips from students (maybe YOU), professors, and staff, as well as asking some of your favorite profs the famous questionnaire from the end of Inside the Actors Studio.

Stay tuned for more!

And as always, Stay curious,

Team ARC
