Multiple Sclerosis Walk: April 19

One of our board members and UT-C alumni Bill Hundley will be walking in the Culpeper, Virginia Multiple Sclerosis Walk on April 19, and he’d like our help in raising awareness and funds to fight this devastating disease. Click here for more information.

Race for the Cure: Saturday, June 7, 2008

This is another charity event that we’ve participated in for the last couple of years. Mark your calendars and be on the look out for details on joining the fun.

Professional Development Series

As a part of the new Young Alumni Program at the Knoxville campus, we’re exploring ways to bring quarterly speakers to the area for all alumni and friends. If you’re interested in joining the planning committee for this new initiative, please contact Lindsay Murphy. Young is certainly a relative term, so all ages — as well as all campuses — are encouraged to join!

April 26: Hands on DC

We participated in this event last year and had both a fun and fulfilling day. This year we are adding our fellow SEC schools to the team because more people can do more good!

To let you know about the cause, Hands on DC is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that conducts a yearly citywide work-a-thon to improve the physical condition of DC public schools, raises funds to support college scholarship programs for public school students and encourages greater community involvement in the public schools.

This year’s work-a-thon takes places on April 26, 2008, at over 30 schools across DC.
To join our team, visit our team page at http://handsondc.kintera.org
When registering, choose our team name "SEC Challenge."
You do not have to be SEC alum to join the team so feel free to pass along to everyone. Bragging rights go to the SEC school with the most volunteers.

We would appreciate your support as a team member! If you can't make it to the event, you can always donate to the cause through the website as well!

Please contact our Team Lead, Andrea Price, if you have any questions.
