A few years ago, I received the Dwight bobble head pictured here looking out of my office window as I work. This picture was taken by Heather Summerlin, IT Consultant in the College of Liberal Arts, and posted on our LAUSatPSU Flickr page.
Dwight has become a mascot of sorts for the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Studies (LAUS) office. He has recently returned from a trip to his hometown of Scranton, PA, where he joined a dedicated group of students from the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council (LAUC) as they raised money for THON, the student-run philanthropy effort to fight pediatric cancer.
The students seem to have had a good time with LAUSDwight and I have embedded a slideshow of the pictures they posted to the LAUC Flickr account.
It is great to see the dedication of these students as they participate in the largest student-run philanthropy effort in the world. LAUSDwight looks good working the phones, playing Wii and bathing in some of the over $1200 the LAUC students raised last weekend.
I encourage everyone to follow the adventures of LAUSDwight as he attends various events, official and unofficial, participating in and observing the undergraduate experience in the College of the Liberal Arts.
We will be tweeting about him using the #LAUSDwight hash tag in the weeks and months to come.
