About Me

I started this blog as a way of building an online community of current and past Ivy Tech paralegal students, as well as letting people interested in our program know what we're up to. This blog is not sponsored by Ivy Tech. No way, no how.

My name is Linda Kampe, and I'm the program chair of Paralegal Studies in Lafayette, Indiana. My office is in Ivy Hall 1166. Stop by and chat. For best results, make an appointment, so I know to expect you. And if you bring your own cup, I'll make you tea. Because hey, we're not animals.

Attention Beer and Tuna Lovers!

Under a couple of recently approved class-action settlements, purchasers of Beck's Beer and Starkist Tuna may be entitled to some money.

Beck's Beer was sued for misleading labels that suggested the beer was imported, when in fact it was not. Anyone who bought Beck's Beer between May 1, 2011, and June 23, 2015, is eligible for a refund. If you have your receipt, you can get a refund of up to $50. If you don't have your receipt--because honestly, who hangs onto a receipt for beer for 4+ years?--you are eligible for a refund of $12. The deadline to apply for your refund is November 20, 2015. To apply, log on to this website.

Starkist Tuna was sued for selling cans of tuna that did not meet the weight stated on the label. Anyone who bought one or more cans of Starkist Tuna between 2009 and 2014 is eligible for a refund of up to $50. And who hasn't bought tuna in the last 6 years? No receipt required for this one, because the Starkist people are apparently more realistic about whether people treasure their grocery receipts. The deadline for this one is also November 20, 2015. To apply for your refund, log on here.

It might not pay next semester's tuition, but it'll keep you in beer and tuna for a while.

You're welcome.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
