Fundraising Efforts

Over the past few months we have been fundraising to help reduce the costs of the trip to the students. Our latest fundraiser is a pub night at Raven and Republic this Thursday, February 6th at 8:30pm. The cover is $5. Live music will be provided by local musician Eric Treleaven. The Raven is offering  a special promotion of $5 for Lake of Bay tall boys. There will also be door prizes!

Update: This fundraiser ended up bringing in $641. Good job and congrats to the 2014 ILEAD Jamaica team for all their hard work!

Business and Social Welfare Students making a difference in Jamaica

Three faculty members and 15 students will be heading to Jamaica in less than ten days on the iLEAD Jamaica Expedition. The students will be working with the Great Huts Resort and the Portland Rehabilitation Management Centre in the parish of Portland on various projects. We depart February 14th and return on February 24th.
