Spring awakening

 

Spring time at Campbell means two things: engagements and outdoor activities. While we can't say much about the first one, a few new programs and events are quickly filling the spring semester calendar.

In a time when federal support of service may soon be a thing of the past, Campbell's dedication to service is an example of how the private and faith-based sectors can step up and continue traditions of outreach and compassion.

Check out what's on the menu for spring time service at Campbell, in chronological order:

Abrazo isn't an event but a sustainable program designed to connect Campbell students with local farm worker camps through the NC Farmworkers Project. Student groups (clubs, dorms, etc.) volunteer to support a camp of farm workers to meet its needs.

Caring Camels is another long-term program with a mission to place Campbell volunteers into the community. In its second semester the program currently has five tutors and one mentor serving dozens of hours each month at local schools. 

Alternative spring break outreach to Red Springs, NC and Charleston, WV will address rural poverty. Keep up with Service at Campbell for posts and photos!

Impulse coffeehouse and the Multicultural Council are co-sponsoring an open-mic night for performances representing students' nationalities and also to showcase international poverty. March 29 at 8 p.m. in Turner.

Poverty Awareness Week will bring representations of poverty to campus to remind us how prevalent it is and what we can do about it.

As you can see there's no shortage of ways to get connected, and the only place to go is up! Next semester will feature bigger, better ideas to help our students service the Campbell community.
