Today the senior class will make its contribution to X-Week with the annual senior auction. It will be held in Uni Gym during a lengthened lunch period and will feature several unique items and services contributed by Uni seniors and faculty.

Students and faculty will have the opportunity to bid on items with all proceeds going to this year's X-Week charity, the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

Items available for bidding include student-created and -designed clothing and apparel, meals and baked goods made by students and faculty, and opportunities to spend time with selected seniors. Currently about 25 items are being auctioned, but contributions from faculty and seniors will be accepted up to auction time.

As of late Thursday night, the following donors have put these items up for auction:
