FYI

American Cancer Society Daffodil Days is happening
The Campus Recreation Department is coordinating collections for Daffodil Days flower sales. Individuals can purchase bouquets of 10 daffodils for $7 by writing a check (to the American Cancer Society) and placing the order at the front desk of the Recreation Center (during all open hours) by Tuesday, Feb. 24. Checks only please. Individuals may also pick up an order form and coordinate collections within departments, fraternities/sororities, apartment units, dorms, or schools. This person would also be the contact point for delivery and distribution when the flowers arrive. The flowers will be delivered the week of March 22-26 to the Campus Recreation Office. Once they arrive all will be called to come and pick them up as soon as possible.

Admissions is seeking student representatives
The Admissions Office is seeking nominations and recommendations for energetic, outgoing students for our volunteer admissions “rep” program. This group provides visiting prospective students and their families with an inside look at UNH and its programs through daily tours of campus, informational sessions, open houses and other related programs. Interested students may obtain applications at Grant House. The deadline for students to submit applications for the 2004-2005 academic year is April 2.

MacFarlane joins Honors Program as new director
