State College is gearing up for the 2010 Census – a federally mandated count of every person who lives in the United States.

Community members are urged to fill out the 2010 form, which will arrive in mailboxes in mid-March and must be post stamped by April 1, 2010.

The 2010 Census form has been dubbed the “shortest Census form in history,” featuring 10 confidential questions that can be easily answered in no more than 10 minutes.

Penn State students with questions about where they should fill out their Census form (i.e. at their State College address or back at mom and dad’s house) are reminded that they must be counted in the location where they live during the school year. Thus, Penn State students should fill out the census form they receive in the mail here.  To learn more about the importance of completing the Census click here.

Haiti Relief Efforts
The January 12 earthquake in Haiti created enormous devastation requiring an unprecedented response from the international community.  The United States is coordinating with the United Nations and a number of nongovernmental organizations to get much needed resources to the nation of Haiti.   

Additionally, the National League of Cities (NLC) is requesting communities to encourage citizens to support the relief efforts. Please visit http://www.nlc.org/haiti for more details as well as some information the White House asked us to distribute.
