Choose 2 Give Campaign and Faculty
TikTok Challenge!
As part of this year’s Choose 2 Give campaign, FHSS has created a Faculty TikTok Challenge! The two faculty dance contestants who get the most votes by April 2 have agreed to perform a TikTok-style dance for our viewing pleasure. Every $1 you donate to our annual Choose 2 Give campaign gives you 1 vote. Two teams are competing from The Political Science Department:  The Dancing Dynasty of Adam Dynes & Quin Monson and The Twinkle Toe Twosome Chris Karpowitz & Kelly Patterson. If you want to see their dance moves, you can cast your votes by following this link:  https://fhss.byu.edu/c2g. You can also see a brief video the contestants have posted about why they want your vote.
