Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of General Studies,

Now that we are getting closer to graduation, we thought we'd pull out the
graduation/senior specific events into a smaller message.

Monique Long and Chikodi Chima have worked very hard all year long to bring
these events to you, let them know if you have questions or comments at
gs08events@gmail.com.

Cheers,

Brody Berg

*PLEASE GIVE TO THE GS ANNUAL SENIOR GIFT FUND
*
We are trying to achieve at least %75 participation among the senior
class. A high participation rate increases awareness of The School
of General Studies. The fund also benefits students of GS with
scholarships and student services.

Any donation of $5 qualifies you as a participant of the fund drive,
however, consider giving more if you are able. For example, a $100
donation qualifies you as an Alumni Associate.

Find out more about the fund and the levels of giving at our GS
donors' website:

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/gs/giving/

Other ways of giving include:
-Flex account
-Pay in installments (convenient if you would like to make a larger
donation)
-Donate in person in the GS lounge at our fundraising table
including the Chikodi and Monique's office hours every Thursday
from 4 until 5.
