Some campus Dares from 2009...
Matt Leslie and Paige MildebraithGuelph, Ontario and London, England
Raised: $1,445.01
INGENUITY Matt and his friend Payge roamed their respective university campuses (in Guelph, ON and London, UK) as human signboards! They spent a day in jumpsuits, and asked people to sign them in a show of support for people living with HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Kathryn TrevenenUniversity of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario
Raised: $2,005.00
ACT OF COURAGE Kathryn – a professor of Women’s studies – dared to teach an upper-year math class if she raised $2,000. And yes, this is the same Kathryn who almost failed grade 10 math, doesn't know a quadratic equation from a pythagorean theorem and can't calculate the change from the simplest financial transaction – but she did it!
Future LibrariansUniversity of Toronto, Toronto, ON
Raised: $811.86
STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY Five library science students from the University of Toronto Library School hit the streets of Toronto with professional librarians to perform Street Reference, using their research skills to answer questions on any topic for passersby. They showed that librarians are not just caretakers for books: they’re part of the local and the global community: “we're socially aware, politically active, and our job is to help connect people to the information they need no matter what the topic.”
McGill's Human Art AttackMcGill University, Montreal, QC
Raised: $2,023.00
STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY A group of students at McGill University organized an "art attack" - hundreds of students came together to form a human piece of art on the campus' main lawn.
SFU Health Sciences HSCI130 StudentsSimon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C.
Raised: $22,584.18
ACTS OF COURAGE, INGENUITY, DETERMINATION, and STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY Professor Rochelle Tucker dared every student in her Simon Fraser University Health Sciences class to take on a Dare during the week of the challenge. Over a hundred students registered and performed their unique Dares: from selling their art work, administering hugs, and no-texting for a week – to performing the tango, jumping into the ocean and hiking up and down Burnaby Mountain. The students of SFU were engaged and mobilized, committed to supporting the community-based initiatives turning the tide of AIDS in Africa.
