REYNOLDS CLUB\u2014When first-year LaToya Josephson gave five dollars to the UChicago World-Saving Club, she did not expect to save the world. \u201cThe World-Saving Club tables in Reynolds every Thursday, and well, I have HUME with the guy who was tabling last week,\u201d Josephson recalled. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize I knew him until he saw me, and he waved, and then I couldn\u2019t say no when he asked me to give five dollars\u2026 And it turns out I saved the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe UChicago World-Saving Club\u2019s mission is to save the world,\u201d said Jamie \u201cThe Guy Who Was Tabling Last Week\u201d Ulrich. \u201cAnd we mean that literally. Like, an asteroid was hurtling towards Earth. We needed five dollars to buy some wiring to finish our space cannon. We were able to blast the asteroid away from the Earth\u2019s trajectory just in the nick of time!\u201d Ulrich teared up as he continued, \u201cLaToya was the one who stepped up to save us all. She\u2019s a hero.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josephson plans to continue her heroism through continued donations to other groups tabling in Reynolds. So far, she has given to the Society of Business German Minors with Less Than a B+ Average, Maroons Against Cottage Cheese in Dining Halls, and Cuckoo Clock Enthusiasts International. Thank you for your generosity, LaToya!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
