CAMPUS STEPS UP FOR HURRICANE RELIEF

The Panther community mobilized multiple initiatives to support hurricane victims affected by Helene and Milton. Spiritual Life collected water and tarps for distribution through the United Methodist Committee on Relief, while LIFT students organized an essential items drive. Additionally, freshman Gracey Ferguson, motivated by her connection to the Appalachian region and reports from first responders, partnered with Servant Scholars Dylan DePriest and J.J. Fragoso on a relief project, delivering Baizebox care packages to affected areas in the Carolinas. In the spring, Spiritual Life plans to take a service trip to help in coastal Georgia.
