Our fundraisers did delightfully well. During the book sale, we sold 425 books, meaning we made $425! So thank you all you bibliophiles out there! Our bowling night was also a blast! It was nice to see so many friendly faces, bowling the night away! In the 2 hours we were there, we managed to make $332! Yes, you read that correctly!...
We just wanted to thank everyone who was able to attend; we hope you all learned some valuable tips for writing your personal statements! A special thank you goes out to Dr. Byler and Dr. Haake for sharing their experiences and invaluable wisdom!
