Case Annual Fund

I love how I'm barely out of school, and I'm already getting hit up to donate money to them.

This week, I got my first solicitation for the Case annual fund [case.edu]. It's crazy. How could I possibly have any money to donate yet? =)

But I'm going to send something in. The hard part is specifying which student group or organization should get the money I am donating. I don't want to just send in a check, because then it'll just go towards paying for upgrades to the dean's air conditioning (but I'm not bitter). Unfortunately, I'm far enough removed that I don't even really know what student programs there are, and which ones aren't an incredible waste of time.

One of my friends suggested that I specify that the money go towards the Graduate Student Senate (GSS) [case.edu]. What's funny/sad about the GSS is that if you had asked me a year ago about them, I would have sworn that they were fictional. That's right, unicorns, Santa Claus, and the GSS were all lumped into the same category in my mind. You know, it's that same category that A Rod [greeleytrib.com] puts winning into.

But anyway, I'm more enlightened now. And that's where my money is going to this year.
