Many have been called to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to help raise awareness and donations to fight Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. During Orientation Weekend 2014, members of the University of Portland community were called out. Laurie Kelley, Vice President for University Relations, Fr. Mark Poorman, President of University of Portland, Jason McDonald, Dean of Admissions, and Fr. Ed Obermiller, Special Assistant to the VP of University Relations all accepted the challenge and braved buckets of ice for a good cause.
