U of G president Alastair Summerlee will support the campus United Way campaign by covering his signature shaved look with wigs designed and made by student groups and campus departments.

A “Wig-a-Day” competition organized by United Way student volunteers is recruiting “hilarious hairpieces” that will be displayed at various campus locations from Nov. 14 to 25. Voting by donation will determine the top five entries, which Summerlee will wear between Nov. 28 and Dec. 2.

For more information or to arrange pick-up for your wig entry by Nov. 11, send email to United Way student co-chair Gavin Armstrong at gavin.armstrong@uoguelph.ca.
