Excerpt:

Levitt stresses that anyone interested can — and should — just walk in and get involved.

“Just walk up. Come into the center and find somebody or a faculty member to ask. Last semester, one student wandered in without prior experience and asked how she could join. We had a hair and makeup position open, and she said yes — she had never tried it before and she was incredible,” Levitt says. “That happened with a couple of students last semester, and this semester our population is much, much larger. I’m very excited about it.”
