MCC-Blue River asks..."Are you ready for a throw down?"

MCC-Blue River is hosting the second annual Transfer Trivia Throwdown. This event is a competition for Blue River student groups, clubs and organizations to prove what they know; learn a bit more and win some cold, hard cash for their organizational cause!

Up to five student groups will participate. Their challenge is to correctly answer a series of questions about transferring to four year schools. Mark your calendar for:

Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011
12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Blue River Campus Center Lobby

The winning group will be awarded $100 to use within their club, organization, or team!

No dawdling; this event is limited to the first 5 groups that make a commitment to participate. The registration deadline is Jan. 28. Student groups may contact Jenny Steen for registration forms.
