Participants Raise $25,695 through Shipboard Auction

Semester at Sea's annual shipboard drive got off to a strong start thanks to the $25,695 raised in a recent one-day shipboard auction. Students, staff and faculty bid in both silent and live auctions organized throughout the day and evening. Many in the shipboard community—including the captain and crew—as well as parents of students donated each of the 127 items that were up for bid. All funds raised go to the Semester at Sea Annual Fund, which supports student scholarships, faculty/staff initiatives, and on-ship programs. Read more on the SAS Voyage Blog.
