Cats' Corner challenge continues: Dr. Gaeddert will match next $250
Any cash donations you make to Cats' Corner is currently being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $250 by Dr. Terri Gaeddert, director of the School of Integrated Studies. So far, $30 has been given toward her challenge. Dr. Gaeddert is following in the footsteps of CEO and dean, Dr. Alysia Starkey, and Dr. Christopher Smith, executive director of enrollment management and marketing, who offered dollar-for-dollar matching at $250 and $500 respectively after learning about the difference Cats' Corner is making in the lives of some of our students.
A place on campus where students can access free non-perishable food, hygiene items and professional clothing for interviews and presentations, Cats' Corner has received more than 50 visits since the start of the fall semester. To donate to Dr. Gaeddert's $250 challenge, contact Julie Rowe, student activities and career services coordinator, by Sept. 14.
