SERVICE CONTINUES TO BE A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT of the Roan development model. This year members of the Roan Class of 2022 engaged in service that exposed them to new issues, took them to new places, and challenged them to make a difference.
THIS IS LEADERSHIP.
ENGAGING COMMUNITIES
ALTERNATIVE BREAKS For the first time, all first-year Roan Scholars participated in ETSU’s Alternative Breaks, a campus-wide initiative where students spend Spring Break learning about and engaging in service related to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Casey Bonnell and Addie Fairchild were part of the ETSU team in Scott County, IN, focusing on health and harm reduction during their Alternative Breaks.
ALTERNATIVE BREAKS & SUMMER OF SERVICE LOCATIONS
Caroline Parris, Jordan Teague, and Clara Reynolds saw how human trafficking impacts people and communities when they participated in the Greenville, SC, Alternative Breaks trip.
McKenzie Templeton proved environmental conservation is not always clean, but it is rewarding. She was in New Orleans during spring break working with local partners to help shore up the area against future damage and to restore what had been lost due to previous hurricanes and storms. Shivam Patel's Alternative Breaks trip took him to Washington, D.C., to learn about religious pluralism. That experience included a group meeting with U.S. Rep. Phil Roe (TN 1st District) about community issues. Lily Edwards spent spring break in Chicago, where she learned about criminal justice and prison reform by visiting the county jail and juvenile detention center, among other sites.
