Two campus groups are going head-to-head to benefit local charities. Ambassadors from the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences will compete with their counterparts from the College of Engineering and Architecture in a penny drive March 28-April 1.
Both organizations have selected a charity to support. The Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Sciences Ambassadors have chosen the Dakota Medial Foundation, while the Engineering and Architecture Ambassadors will raise funds for Habitat for Humanity.
"Our college’s Ambassadors are excited about this competition with the College of Engineering and Architecture Ambassadors,” said Sara Wald, director of advancement for the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences and Ambassadors adviser. “This will benefit two great local charities, but only one of us has bragging rights for the next year.”
Joel Hanson, director of the student support center for the College of Engineering and Architecture and Ambassadors adviser, said, “I am truly looking forward to this friendly competition between the two college ambassador groups. It is a great way for the students to interact with each other while contributing to a couple of very worthy organizations in the community. My hope is that this will turn into an annual event.”
Receptacles for the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences Ambassadors will be placed in the Memorial Union on March 31 and April 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at Sudro Hall March 28-April 1 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Arrangements also can be made to have an Ambassador pick up donations.
Engineering and Architecture Ambassadors’ collection points will be in the CME Auditorium hallway, downtown at Renaissance Hall and a joint table with the Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Sciences Ambassadors.
