YOU'RE INVITED...


Service Corps' 'White Out' Party
On Mon., Dec. 8 at 10 a.m. all students, faculty and staff are invited to take a break from busy end-of-the-year to-do lists to celebrate the season at the Belmont Mansion, courtesy of new Service Corp initiative "White Out." The event will feature live acoustic Christmas music, sweet treats and even some giving back. Attendees are encouraged to bring at least one unwrapped toy that will be donated to Toys for Tots in order to ensure less fortunate children see their Christmas wishes come true.
