Comm Lab thrills with holiday caroling

Lab staff perform in front of the Communications Lab
Tuesday, December 14, 2010, to spread a little holiday
cheer and to raise money for lab events.

Communications lab staff spread some holiday cheer today during a festive fundraiser which included a round of caroling and a bake sale featuring fudge, cookies and other chocolate treats.

The Communications Lab fundraiser raised money during the holiday fundraiser through sales of confections and donations from caroling.

Notables attending the fundraiser included former Comm Lab supervisor Tonya Kymes and Dean of Arts and Humanities Susan VanSchuyver, as well as several students and well wishers.

Carolers consisted of Comm Lab assistants and tutors singing songs including "Jingle Bells", "Silver Bells" and other holiday classics.

Tutor Charlton Rigsby accompanied the carolers on a guitar.

The fundraiser will benefit lab events including the purchasing of folders for workshops and activities for the  Comm Lab's ESL Conversation Groups.

Lab assistant Lydia Rucker stated she planned on incorporating more collaborative activities into the ESL groups including a movie night and a video project that teaches persuasive techniques.
