La Vie is looking for a new Editor-in-Chief for the year from 2010-2011 and it could be you! La Vie is Penn State’s yearbook, and it has been archiving the history of the University since 1889. So what can you do to be the new editor-in-chief for this great publication?

Have yall got a copy of Valley Magazine yet? It came out the week before spring break. If not, you can still pick up a copy by the art gallery in the HUB.
