As Life West celebrates Black History Month during the month of February, the Life West community is invited to take part in a trivia contest.
The first person to submit all of the correct answers to Mercy in the admissions department (room 120L) will win a $100 voucher for the Life West Bookstore.
Please follow the honor code and don’t Google the answers, as tempting as that may be!
