University of Dallas, Irving, Texas

Great news! Renee Talamantez, a former classmate of mine and current director of student activities at the University of Dallas, informed me yesterday that The Least Among Us has been named among the beneficiaries of Charity Week 2012. Coordinated by the junior class every year, Charity Week raises between $15,000 and $20,000 yearly for non-profit causes through organized activities including the Charity Week Jail (a small donation will land your professor in jail), Male Auction, Shave-Off (I once lost my golden locks for the cause), KAOS (a campus-wide manhunt game), Semi-Formal dance, Silent Auction, Booths, and Air Band. Please visit the university web site for more information. This isn’t the first time the people of El Salvador have benefitted from the generosity of the students and faculty of the University of Dallas, and we look forward to a fruitful relationship with the Catholic university for independent thinkers!

Shave-off!
