From March 9th to the 19th Alternative Spring Break happened. This annual initiative lets Shepherd students engage in a week-long service program during spring break. This year, the group partnered with the Appalachia Service Project, an organization dedicated to home repair and replacement in Central Appalachia.
Students traveled to Jonesville, Virginia, where they worked to improve the living conditions; tackling critical home repair projects, including installing new flooring, plumbing, insulation, and underpinning the home to provide a safer and more stable living environment.
Shepherd University invites the community to participate in this year’s Relay for Life on April 12 at noon. The University and Jefferson County are again partnering to host the event through the American Cancer Society (ACS). ACS provides resources to cancer patients and their families. Come enjoy, engaging with Shepherd students and community members who will be hosting fund-raisers and fun activities around the Relay track.
Funds raised through Relay for Life events help provide money for critical cancer research. Participants will also experience local food trucks, engage in fundraising, and experience educational activities. Members of the community will be walking laps in honor, memory, and support of our friends and family who have or have had cancer.
