University Committee on Child Care

Lynne Mumm, 294-6339

The University Child Care Committee in coordination with the University Committee on Women officially began its “Fowl Play” fundraiser on Nov. 1, 2005.  The University Child Care Committee works to provide affordable, accessible, quality child care for all university constituents, and raise awareness about issues facing university families.

The “Fowl Play” fundraiser kicked off at the new College of Human Sciences when Cy and the University Child Care Committee delivered the goose and nest of baby Cys to Dean Cheryl Achterberg in E262 Lagomarcino Hall. 

This year’s theme is “Cy’s Nest Child Care.”  Recipients will pay a $25 “field trip” fee to have Cy “fly” the goose and nestlings to their next destination. The nest will be transported to the person of Dean Achterberg‘s choosing, Jerry Thomas, professor and chair of the Department of Health and Human Performance.  He will then follow suit.  Each recipient will have 24 hours to host the flock, which proudly bears the “Fowl Play” and Cyclone insignias and information about University Child Care services.

Watch for “Fowl Play – Cy’s Nest Child Care” at locations around campus or at an office near you!

All proceeds go directly to scholarships helping university students afford quality, dependable child care.  All contributions are tax deductible.
