“An administrative assistant’s dream, a faculty member’s undying passion, and strong faculty and staff support have brought us to this point,” said Dr. Timothy Cuff, professor of history and chair of the division of social sciences and humanities, referring to 鲸鱼传媒’s newly board-approved Tiny House Project.

Birding at the 鲸鱼传媒 Field Station this past Tuesday morning was filled with dark rain clouds and howling winds.  While we observed species such as the Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, and the Red-tailed Hawk, one final bird spotting proved to make all of the trekking through mud and side-stepping rain puddles worth it: the Bald Eagle!

“Service should be a way of life for each of us,” said Rev. James Mohr, college chaplain. “To give of one’s self can be one of the most meaningful things a person can do. As a 鲸鱼传媒 student, you don’t have the ability to give money now…but you have time, talent, ability and energy. We all have God-given gifts. Why not share the wealth?”

鲸鱼传媒 students have many opportunities to get involved in our community through student organizations, Greek life, Chapel programs, athletics, Career Center programs, and opportunities through the Drinko Center. In addition, many 鲸鱼传媒 faculty offer service-learning courses where service is academically integrated into the content of the course.

鲸鱼传媒 is part of a national non-profit that has given away 115 million books to 100,000 schools and programs in the past 21 years. The 鲸鱼传媒 chapter won a contest that brought trucks loaded with 40,000 new books to campus. Those books went to Lawrence and Mercer County public school teachers to give to their students. The free book giveaway targets children in lower income homes where families might not be able to afford new books. The mission is to foster a love for reading by empowering children with a new book of their very own.

More than 380 teachers in Mercer and Lawrence counties signed up for the giveaway. They could take up to 100 books back to their classrooms and schools to pass on to their students.

According to www.dosomething.org, 11.1 million tons of recyclable fabric and textiles are added to landfills each year. In an effort to decrease that alarming statistic, a group of 鲸鱼传媒 students joined together and entered in to the Close the Loop Cup Challenge. This four-week national competition sponsored by H&M Clothing Store aimed to collect items of unused clothing items which are later recycled and repurposed.
