FHSU Students at the Q&A Booth for Service-Learning. Thanks to all who participated!

It has been a great week of service-learning activities. Thank you for your support and participation! As the FHSU Service-Learning Week comes to a close, I invite you to join us for a come-and-go reception today from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. in the Trails Room. There will be a group of community partners there to visit with you about their experiences and possibly help you make a connection in the community for a potential project.

At this reception, you can also pick up information about obtaining grant money to support your service-learning projects and applications for the Provost's Service-Learning Faculty Fellows opportunity. We will be giving away some great gift items too. So, please join us for a few minutes of food, information, and cool give-away items.
