March is that time of year when school spirit is in the national spotlight. CEHS is joining a new social media competition that gives faculty, students, alumni, supporters and friends the opportunity to show their school spirit and support the college. “March Like-ness” is a fun competition between colleges of education in the Big Ten Conference. You don’t have to be a bracketologist—just “like” CEHS on Facebook or “follow” us on Twitter. But make sure you do it before April 7 when the competition ends.
