Undergraduate student teams raising funds for charity event on 12 December
Staff and students in the Accounting and Finance department at
Middlesex University are helping to "make the world better with a sweater".
On 12 December, undergraduate teams from years one, two and
three will don their best festive threads to coincide with charity Save the
Children's annual Christmas Jumper Day.
Each team is being led by an academic from the department as
they compete for a place on the charity's 'Woolly Wonderboard' for the most
money raised.
They are: Team Ellie Franklin ('TEAMMDXANFE'); Team John
Fletcher ('TEAMMDXANFJ'); and Team Dox Kyriacou ('TEAMMDXANFD'). If you'd like
to make a £2 donation to the cause, simply text the code of the team you are
backing to 70050.
"We decided to do this to create a buzz within the
department and get students and staff involved in some festive fun after a number
of coursework deadlines," said Director of Accounting Programmes Jo
Abdul-Rahim.
"It encourages students to be more socially aware, inspires
enterprise and brings them together on what is a fun and worthwhile cause."
Tanya Steele, Executive Director of Fundraising at Save the
Children, said: "This year will be our biggest Christmas Jumper Day yet. We had
over a million people take part last year and we want to see even more jumpers
being worn this year."
