When freshman physics major Kayla Gurganus had her shoulder-length hair shaved, she received several cheers from the people involved at St. Baldrick's.
Gurganus shaved her hair as part of a Brayton/Clevenger Hall Council event Saturday to help St. Baldrick's, is an organization that raises money to help find cures for children with cancer.
Students can either raise money to keep their hair, cut it or shave it. Gurganus said she received an email about the event last month, but did not know she was going to go through with it until the day.
"You'd be surprised how much your hair weighs, I think, and how much you actually have," she said. "It does definitely feel a lot different."
