This project, endorsed by Dean Crismon, is an opportunity for you to help the College of Pharmacy thank donors who have contributed to scholarships, student travel stipends, student group budgets, and College of Pharmacy programs. (And eat a free lunch!)
Here's how it works:
I keep track of who has signed up, reserve a room, order pizza, and bring some salad items, desserts, and drinks. You come by the designated room during the lunch hour to eat lunch and write about eight thank-you notes. I provide the notecards, envelopes, stamps, instructions, sample notes written by other students, and a sheet with the names and addresses of donors and the purpose of their gift.
During the initial event on February 10, we will need about 40 volunteers to write notes because we will attempt to cover all November, December, and January gifts. On March 24 and April 26, only ~15 are needed.
This is a fun event that we just started last year, and it has been such a hit that other colleges on campus have approached us about emulating it. Thanking donors is beneficial to the college and just the right thing to do, and I really try to make it fun for all the volunteers.
Please let me know the dates you are available and how to get in touch with you. I will email you about a week before each note-writing session to confirm your attendance.
Should you have questions, please feel free to email me at mtucker@mail.utexas.edu, call me at 512-232-2779, or come visit me in 5.110.
Thank you!!!
