Free Hockey Tickets
Ferris will be looking for volunteers to help the university host the 2010 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 5 through 7 at Top Taggart Field. Anyone who works two shifts during the meet will have the opportunity to choose hockey tickets to their choice of three games next year, excluding the Michigan and Michigan State contests, or a free season pass for football, volleyball and basketball. Track and field experience is not needed to participate. Those interested should contact Associate Athletics Director Jon Coles at (231) 250-4082 or email at colesj@nullferris.edu.
