For the past few months we have been faced with a barrage of headlines of crises and disasters around the globe which have tugged at our heartstrings.

We will be holding one last fundraiser for the year, a penny drive in the library pitting 1L vs. 2L vs. 3L vs. the Faculty. Dig through your couch cushions and bring in your spare change. All proceeds will go to the Canadian Red Cross’ International Disaster Relief Fund.

How to Donate
Go to the library, next to the circulation desk. Put change in the bucket.
