instructors Maurice Gallant and Kathleen Matheson have their heads shaved by
hairdressing students Lisa Milne, left, and Larissa Finch at a fundraiser for
Haiti earthquake victims. The faculty members agreed to the extreme haircuts after a raffle and pizza sale at the Richard
W. Johnston Centre for International Education raised about $2,600. A variety
of fundraising efforts at the Nanaimo campus have raised about $5,000 for the
Red Cross. The donations will be presented to a Red Cross representative at a
wrap-up fundraising barbecue Friday. An earlier campaign at the VIU Library
raised more than $1,300 for the Rotary Club’s ShelterBox aid program for Haiti.
