Latest Club Updates

[edit]
  • Our Wikipedia Takes Columbus event is underway! Contribute photos you've taken of Columbus and our campus. We have also extended the event from April 16 to April 20; this will allow participants more time to upload photos and for us to wrap the event up at our next workshop.
  • Our Buckeye Scavenger Day took place on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who came out! If you participated and haven't yet uploaded your photos, instructions are available here. We'll also be working together to upload pictures at Wednesday's workshop.
