From 5 pm this Friday, March 30, to 9 am, Saturday, March 31, Eckerd College will be hosting one of the largest student-run philanthropy projects on Eckerd's campus - American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. To date, Eckerd students, faculty, staff, and alumni have raised over $10,000 for cancer research and awareness.

This year's circus theme promises cotton candy, face painting, a hypnotist, tye-dye, and a 'pie your professor' station (where colleagues like Dean Jim Annarelli will get 'pied'). The Relay's opening ceremonies will include the national anthem by Eckerd student Devon Williams; the Luminaria ceremony will be held at 9 pm. Each team will have fundraisers the night of, so bring some dollars and change!

Explore Eckerd: Parking Shifts

Admission will be welcoming admitted students and their families at two upcoming Explore Eckerd events. In an effort to be as inviting as possible to our visitors, the Cobb lot, Upham grass lot, and the Upham East lot will be reserved parking for those guests. All faculty and staff should park in the North lot, near McArthur Gymnasium or the West lot, across from Lewis House on Mondays, April 2 and 15. Thank you for your cooperation!
