Dr. Christopher González will discuss the much-maligned storytelling form of comic books.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Texas A&M Commerce is just around the corner on April 15, 2016 from 6pm-12am in the University Field House. So far, teams and people have signed up online, but we're missing one thing - you! This year, more than 14 million cancer survivors will celebrate another birthday thanks to the work we're accomplishing together. That is something to celebrate! We sincerely hope you can join us for what's always a moving and unforgettable event. Our Relay For Life event is just 49 days away, and there's still time to register or donate.

By creating a team, you are making a pledge to fight back against cancer. Your team can fundraise before the event, during the event, and after the event! Our goal is to have a team from each department and student organization on campus so that we are making the biggest impact possible. Did I also mention it is a great bonding experience for your office? Visit our website www.relayforlife.org/tamucommercetx<http://www.relayforlife.org/tamucommercetx> to register your team! At Relay For Life, we honor cancer Survivors and Caregivers-remember those who lost their battle with cancer-and pledge to fight back against this dreadful disease. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Hope to see you at Relay!
