ASB 2006 Acknowledgments
Direction
Alternative Spring Break 2006 was administered by the Academic and Career Services Office at the School of Information, under the direction
of Judy Lawson.
Jessica Lehr coordinated ASB 2006 with significant administrative assistance from Becky O'Brien and Connie Schaffer. Thanks also to Maurita Holland for her hard work over many years for the ASB program.
Fundraising
An energetic group of students committed itself to raising funds
for ASB 2006. In February, 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 ($1,800).
The group also waged an SI-all Penny
War, which saw the SI community battle it out and raise a shocking
$1338.39! Due to their success, both of these events seem
destined to become SI traditions in years ahead.
A successful grant from the Ludy Foundation also ensured funds to send students to our newest ASB location, Jackson Mississippi.
All of the student-led fundraising
efforts for ASB 2006 were matched
dollar-for-dollar from the
Amy Anderson - Rebecca Carter - Linda Choo - Ann Cnockaert - Sara Dean - Nisha Erinjeri

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, advising on transportation and accommodations arrangements,
summarizing the feedback from ASB participants, and many other thankless tasks. For your hard work to
