5. Departments: Need funds?

Looking for a quick and easy way to raise funds for your department? The Alumni Relations Office is making tickets available to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular on Dec. 9 at their cost of $20. The department receives all the profits for every ticket it sells, and determines how the funds will be used: scholarships, faculty support, departmental needs, etc. This opportunity runs until Dec. 3 only.
