College of Arts and Sciences dean dunked for a good cause

The College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) joined forces with the gentlemen of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Nov. 8 to fight hunger in South Florida. Ken Furton, the dean of CAS, climbed into a dunk tank on the Graham Center lawn, in his suit and tie, to help raise money for the North American Can Food Drive.

For $1, participants received three opportunities to dunk the dean. Students who were passing by couldn’t resist taking aim after Furton taunted them. President Mark B. Rosenberg and Chair of the Board of Trustees Albert Dotson both took a shot. And Omar Barcelo, who works in Campus Services, sank the dean on his first try.

The event raised more than $300 for the cause.
