MPHSO Fundraising:
Why do we need to fundraise? Provide financial assistance for scholarships, social events, mission or charity trips/events, etc.
Ideas:
T-shirt/sweatshirt sale – maybe create new designs that incorporate clever public health sayings
Book buy back – incoming students can buy books from second years; Norma-Jean will investigate how LaFollette runs their book buy back sales
