ADOPT-A-FAMILY: Bring the Joy of the Season to Children in Need
(Learn more at http://www.albanycounty.com/uploadedFiles/AAFBrochure07.pdf)
Every holiday season, PASA raises money for a family in the Capital Region through the Adopt-A-Family program.
Our family this year is a mother and her 5-year old daughter. We plan to fundraise $100 per family member to help answer some of their holiday wishes – including new clothes and a couple of board games like Chutes and Ladders and Operation!

This is a great opportunity to participate in the faculty search process and to get to know potential faculty members. Please consider attending the upcoming presentations (which are also great opportunities to hear about doctoral research) and especially bringing a brown bag lunch and chatting with the candidates. At the end of the term, this sort of thing is takes time away from end-of-term tasks, but it is very important for the future of the College. We hope you will seize this opportunity for student participation and feedback!
