So this weekend were our two Scholar's Day events. All students who received an AJ Drexel Scholarship were invited to Drexel for more information on the College and their planned major of study. I had to work at the events from 8 AM till 4 Pm both Saturday and Sunday, but the event ran very smoothly. I had a chance to meet a lot of potential Drexel students, while also hanging out with some Student Ambassadors I haven't met yet.
The most interesting part of my weekend happened last night. The Calhoun Hall RAs have been raising money over the past week for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The four RAs who raise the most money get duct taped to the poles in the Calhoun lobby. There were cans at the front desk all week where residents could donated money to get their RA taped to a pole. Until Sunday afternoon we had only raised a total of about $80. With 1 hour left, all of the residents banded together to try and get their RA taped.
In the end 4 RAs were picked, Brent (3rd floor), Aditi (7th floor), George (4th floor), and myself (8th floor). Between 8 PM and 9 PM we went from having $80 in donation to almost $400.
I will admit, being duct taped to a large concrete poll is not the most comfortable experience, but it was for a great cause. I was proud of my residents for donating their money (which college students usually do not have much of) to get me taped. It was a great event and was for a great cause. Yeah Calhoun!
