Meet and Greet!
3 - 6 PM: Join the team members inside the building at the College of Education + Human Development booth. Come picture yourself as an Arctic explorer with GoNorth! and the polar huskies (really, get a lifesize picture with you on the trail with the Polar Huskies!). Help send off the CE+HD (stuffed) Polar Husky on its first expedition to classrooms around the world. Submit your name of choice for the (stuffed) Polar Husky - then sign up to have the (stuffed) Polar Husky visit your classroom!
