Saturday, December 1, 2007
For the past six years the Undergraduate Programs office has organized a college-wide day of giving. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends sign up to give 4 to 5 hours of service one Saturday in December. The event will run from 7:30 am until 12:00 pm but times will vary depending on location and project.
RSVP for Eller College Philanthropy 6 now!
Deadline to RSVP is Thursday, November 15th.

The mission for the Eller College Philanthropy is three-fold:
- To give back to the Tucson community through service work as a united college.
- To increase cooperation and positive relationships between the Eller College's students, faculty, staff, clubs and organizations.
- To give students, who may not otherwise be involved, the opportunity to interact with the Eller College and get involved with the college outside of the classroom.
