Alumni, faculty and students will gather in Los Angeles June 5 to kick off the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ in L.A. internship and study program.

Members of the Class of 2008, along with their parents, grandparents and friends, have contributed more than $18,000 to the Senior Class Gift Campaign for Student Initiative Grants – money that will support students who want to organize future service opportunities.
