After months and months of hard work and dedication, the Penn State Bateman team kicked off its 2010 census campaign today (Feb. 1). During the month of February, the Penn State Bateman team plans to surprise students and Centre County residents with their outreach plan.
It's hard to believe that the last census was conducted 10 years ago and I was in elementary school. Not only that, but the 2010 census data will affect my life until I am 32 years old. Whether you remember participating in the census when you were little or it's your first time--make sure you fill out the form! It's 10 questions and takes less than 10 minutes. Plus, it's required by law.
During the 2000 census, Pennsylvania lost two House of Representatives in Congress. This year is the year we can make a difference. Participating in the 2010 census is our way, as students, to give back to Centre County for the residents have been more than welcoming over our four years at Penn State. It doesn't matter if you're financially dependent on your parents, an international student or renting your apartment--you still need to fill out the census.
Remember: Census Day is April 1, 2010!
