| Everyone deserves a valentine. What better time to embrace random acts of kindness than Valentine's Day? Today and tomorrow you can create a unique valentine out of recycled materials for a friend, colleague, or someone special. Whether you're inspired by Victorian valentines or other images of love, stop by the "maker station" in Collins Memorial Library and make your valentine something from the heart.
Be safe out there, Loggers. Puget Sound Outdoors is offering campus members the chance to order personal first aid kits at wholesale prices.

To get yours complete the online order form by Feb. 15 . Questions? Contact or stop by The Expy, expy@pugetsound.edu.
