The FSUC thanks all who supported their efforts last semester, in particular faculty and students who attended the HDFS Pizza Social, Panda Express Fundraiser, and Confused about Courses (which was an informal meeting that provided students with the opportunity to find out about HDFS requirements, classes and professors).

In October 2011 the FSUC participated in Lee National Denim Day. They invited people to wear their jeans to work in exchange for a $5 donation to the Women’s Cancer Programs of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF). The event proved successful as the FSUC raised $222 for breast cancer research.

The FSUC are currently selling HDFS T-shirts, HDFS string bags, and HDFS mugs to the HDFS Community.
