USC for Dean: USC Friends and Neighbors Day
Once a term, USC gathers volunteers to do some community service. It's called Friends and Neighbors Day. There are different "projects" that people can sign up for, varying from local things like helping St. Vincent's School do some end of summer cleaning to not-so-local things like helping Heal the Bay pick up trash on the beach. This was, obviously, my first time doing this, but I thought it was really cool.
The campus Dean group, USC for Dean, came out with a contingent of six people (undergrads, grad students, post-doc research people, alumni) and worked at St. Vincent's. Click the photo above to see more pictures from the event.
I have no idea what my hand is doing inside my bag.
Since it was a USC community service event, we were told we had to wear our USC volunteer shirts (instead of our Dean shirts), but we were allowed to wear our Dean buttons. We were also prohibited from doing any "campaigning," but if someone asked about Dean, we could pass out literature. I gave stuff to three people; altogether we probably got about a half dozen people information about the campus group and the upcoming MeetUp at Margarita Jones.
Fundraising update: $371,578 from 6,607 contributors. A little over 3 days to go.
