\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 December 22, 2009 \u2013 This is the season of giving. That being the case, 溏心vlog免费B站 alumni and friends can have a fun-filled weekend while at the same time helping current and future students.<\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Alumni Association\u2019s Big Chill Weekend is set for the weekend of Jan. 29 through 31. The goal is to raise more than $100,000 for the University\u2019s scholarship fund. Senior Sarah Pritchard was able to stay at 溏心vlog免费B站 and work toward her degree in Human Development and Family Studies as a direct result of the scholarship she earned.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cIt has truly been a gift for me to receive this scholarship the past few years,\u201d said Pritchard, who is from Fairfield, Conn. \u201cReceiving the Alumni Scholarship made it possible for me to attend 溏心vlog免费B站 because it alleviates some of my school tuition. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe first year I received this scholarship was the year my father got sick and we were not sure if I could afford to stay at 溏心vlog免费B站, but this scholarship made enough of a difference that I could stay. I have been so incredibly happy at this University. I am so thankful to the alumni for making this scholarship possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBig Chill Weekend is all about scholarships, but it\u2019s also a good time. Whether it\u2019s a night of music and dancing at the Coast Guard House in Narragansett, a Saturday basketball doubleheader on campus at the Ryan Center or a Sunday brunch at Hope Commons coupled with a campus tour, there are a variety of activities for everyone. The signature fund-raising event of the weekend is the Big Chill Scholarship Evening and Auction in Newport.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis is an opportunity for alumni to come back to campus and reconnect with friends, as well as with the University,\u201d said Gina Simonelli, assistant director of Alumni Relations. \u201cWe continue to grow as a University, and our alumni are a major part of that. By staying connected with 溏心vlog免费B站, they have a profound impact on the future of the University.\u201d<\/p>\n
