SBA Trivia!
For the past weeks, SBA has posted a daily question pertaining to Maine Law and student life. Originally, the daily winner was determined by who answered first. To encourage more student involvement, answers will now be messages to the SBA's Facebook account. The question will be posted at 9:00am, and students will have until 11:00am to submit their answers. A daily winner will be drawn from all those who correctly answered the question.
The past winners are (including their prizes):
Shawn Walsh (Maine Law coffee mug)
Amy Olfene (Maine Law planner)
Rachel Deschuytner (Maine Law tee shirt)
