With each $10 (or more!) gift, you can vote for your favorite academic program, athletic team, or student club, and the winner in each category will receive $1,000! In addition to supporting the mission of 91短视频 as a whole, it鈥檚 a great way to pay homage to the campus experiences that means the most to you. Every gift of $10 or more is a vote cast for your favorite!
