Class Gift Representative Elections Are Coming Up
Help select who represents your class on the Class Gift Council! Online elections will be held October 22-24, and each class will have the opportunity to select two officials to serve as their Class Gift representatives for the 2012-13 academic year. Interested in running? Candidate applications are due Wednesday, Oct. 17 and can be found at classgift.uark.edu.
Each student has benefitted from the generosity of those alumni who came before them. Representatives lead the charge for their respective classes and encourage students to take an active role in philanthropy on campus.
The Class Gift program is managed by the student-run council and is coordinated through the Advancement Division’s office of annual programs. For more information, contact Blake Rickman at brickman@uark.edu or 575-3238.
