The CoE Staff Advisory Committee is hosting a college-wide CoE apparel fundraiser!

WHY IS SAC FUNDRAISING? We are fundraising to create an endowment before the end of the fiscal year. The endowment will be used for awards and recognition in the form of leadership development, academic training, scholarships and monetary gifts of appreciation. For more information, please visit our website.

HOW DO I ORDER? SAC is hosting two clothing fundraisers. One is onsite and will be delivered to departments on April 26, and the other is online and will be shipped to an address of your choosing. Both sales consist of the same items.

ONSITE SALE: Please fill out the attached order form and turn it in with payment to your department’s SAC Representative. Orders and money are due on April 12 and delivery will be April 26.

ONLINE SAC APPAREL SALE: Visit our online store. NOTE: Items ordered online will be more expensive due to shipping costs and royalty fees that are necessary for the online sale. Items ordered through your SAC Representative will be less expensive.

SIZING QUESTIONS? Sizing charts are available on our online store. SAC will also showcase clothing samples in Kunkle Lounge on April 4 and April 9 from 12:00–2:00 PM. Please stop by to check out the apparel that SAC members have picked for this fundraiser!
