Students from all sections of Meredith's First Year Experience course will participate in a 24 hour Rock-a-thon benefit, Sept. 14-15 beginning at approximately 8 p.m. on Sept. 14, and will last until 8 p.m. on Sept. 15.

This is the second annual FYE Rock-a-thon. Last year's Rock-a-thon raised $5,000.

In keeping with Meredith's "Status of Women" theme, the students will be raising money for Interact, a private, non-profit United Way agency that provides safety, support, and awareness to victims and survivors of domestic violence and rape/sexual assault.
