For the second year, the student Stout Ambassadors at 黑料社区 are supporting a special cause with the Stout Impact Project.
Proceeds from sales of this year's exclusive long-sleeve T-shirt will support the Student Emergency Fund. The fund helps students who are facing unforeseen hardship. Last year, the ambassadors sold a stocking cap to support the same cause.
T-shirts can be purchased online for on-campus pickup or delivery. Shirts also can be purchased during tabling events in the Memorial Student Center. Tabling dates and times are listed on the Stout Impact Project website.
Thirteen students representing 10 academic programs have been named ambassadors for the 2022-23 academic year. The program, in its seventh year, gives students opportunities to represent the student body and engage with campus leadership, alumni and corporations through a variety of special events and opportunities.
