CGU Fundraiser for Japan Aid Today

Claremont Graduate University and the Red Cross are holding a fundraiser today for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims. The event will run starts at 7am and runs all day. Here are the details:

CGU's Drucker School to hold fundraiser for Japan earthquake and tsunami relief


CLAREMONT, California —The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University is partnering with the American Red Cross for a "drive-through" disaster relief fundraiser in Claremont on Wednesday, March 23 to benefit victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami.

The Drucker Relief Drive for Japan will allow those who wish to donate to do so without leaving the comfort of their cars.

Volunteers will collect donations at the university's north campus parking lot from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The lot is at the northwest corner of Drucker Way (E 11th St) and Dartmouth Avenue in Claremont. Drivers should enter the lot from Drucker Way. (map)



Cash and checks will be accepted. Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross, with "Japan Earthquake" written in the memo line.

Anyone who wishes to donate before March 23 can drop off a check at the Drucker School's main floor reception desk, 1021 N. Dartmouth Ave.

A magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit Japan on March 11, with some 400 aftershocks following. The initial temblor spawned a huge tsunami that devastated Japan's eastern coast. At least 8,400 people have been killed, and nearly 13,000 remain missing. Survivors are facing shortages of key supplies, such as food and gasoline.

About The Drucker School

With a strong commitment to research, values orientation, and an intimate graduate-only curriculum, Princeton Review recently ranked the school fifth in the nation in faculty quality. The Drucker School offers a variety of professional and doctoral degrees, including MBA, EMBA, MSFE (jointly with CGU’s School of Math), MA in Arts Management (jointly with CGU’s School of Arts and Humanities), and MA in Politics, Business, and Economics (jointly with CGU’s School of Politics and Economics). Named for both a pioneering thinker (Peter Drucker) and an accomplished doer (Masatoshi Ito), the school produces graduates who have a strong sense of social responsibility and a deep desire to make a difference by doing well while also doing good.

About Claremont Graduate University

Founded in 1925, Claremont Graduate University is one of the top graduate schools in the United States. Our nine academic schools conduct leading-edge research and award masters and doctoral degrees in 24 disciplines. Because the world’s problems are not simple nor easily defined, diverse faculty and students research and study across the traditional discipline boundaries to create new and practical solutions for the major problems plaguing our world. A Southern California based graduate school devoted entirely to graduate research and study, CGU boasts a low student-to-faculty ratio.

The American Red Cross name is used with its permission, which in no way constitutes an endorsement, expressed or implied, of any product, service, company, individual or political position.

Art Auction Next Week at HMC

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D) will hold its annual silent art auction at Harvey Mudd's Galileo Hall next Sunday, June 7, from 2-4:30pm. The charity is a national non-profit that helps students of all ages who have vision or learning disabilities. RFB&D's website says the organization provides students, from kindergarten through post-graduate studies, with "textbooks and education materials in accessible formats."

The June 7 event has been renamed this year in honor of the late Milford Zornes. There's always plenty of good art to be had, as well as refreshments, and the money gets put to good use.

Milford Zornes Memorial Art Event 2009

In memory of world-renowned California style watercolor artist Milford Zornes, and thanks to devoted supporters Nancy Arce, John Faranda, Ruby Leavitt and Steve Siegel, more than 70 professional artists will contribute a variety of art pieces to the silent auction.
