Our class created a “Love Box” to gather notes of encouragement, show appreciation, and promote cheer within our class!

This week, we reflected on the issues to which we are most dedicated and developed ideas for future projects.

Upcoming goals:

• Grant workshop on Saturday, April 13th from 1-4 p.m.
• Projects committee presentation
• Appalachian trip dates for 2013-2014
• Sustaining our legacy at Elon

Important ideas:

• Promoting community center
• Garden bins
• Computers/technology
• Solar generators
• Books
• Physical therapy (health clinic)

We are excited about the progress our class has been making and look forward to future opportunities!

One of our major class goals is to bring awareness about issues in Appalachia onto campus. Our Class planned a week of events, with the hope of facilitating change through education, featuring speakers who graciously traveled from Appalachia.

Check out the schedule of events
