ASB 2005 Acknowledgments

Direction
Alternative Spring Break 2005 was administered, as usual, by the Office of Academic Outreach at the School of Information, under the direction of Professor Maurita Holland

Peter Keller-Transburg coordinated ASB 2005.

Fundraising
An energetic group of students committed itself to raising funds for ASB 2005. In January, the group put on the impressively successful SI Revue, a variety concert highlighting the many artistic talents of SI students, faculty and staff. Ticket sales for this event raised $1600. The group also waged an
SI-all Penny War, which saw the SI community battle it out and raise a shocking $1,024! Due to their success, both of these events seem destined to become SI traditions in years ahead.

All of the student-led fundraising efforts for ASB 2005 were matched dollar-for-dollar from the School of Information ’s Olive Webb Memorial Matching Fund, with a total amount generated of over $5,500. Many thanks to the entire ASB Fundraising Team: 

Amy Anderson - Joanna Axelrod - Erika Doyle - Beryl Johnson 
Mary Kenney - Sylvie Khajuria - Autumn Kladder

Logistics
ASB couldn't happen without the dedicated efforts of the Logistics Team over the course of many months before and after the ASB week. The following team members spent considerable time calling potential host organizations, defining project descriptions, coordinating transportation and accommodations arrangements, summarizing the feedback from ASB participants, creating this web record of the experience, and many other thankless tasks. For your hard work to pull off the BIGgest ASB ever, you are acknowledged!!

Monique Uzelac - Abigail Potter - Ricah Marquez - Mellanye Lackey 
Nancy Jacobson - Nicole Cho - Rodger Burns 

Organizations and Supervisors
ASB owes a big debt of gratitude to the 24 organizations and over 60 host organization staff members who took the time to host ASB participants. Thanks especially to the ASB participant supervisors who made ASB 2005 a meaningful and enjoyable experience for the 70 students!
