LEAD Emporia accepting applications

Applications for the LEAD Emporia program are due Sept. 4. Students who wish to participate can find the applications at www.emporia.edu/csi/lead/LEADEmporianew.htm or in the Center for Student Involvement. The program is designed to help students get to know the Emporia community while meeting important figures and creating volunteer opportunities said Olivia Drumm, graduate assistant in Leadership Development.

The program will include six dates where students will be invited to meet with local business owners, tour businesses and learn about commerce in Emporia. Visit sites include the court house, Hopkins Manufacturing, the Chamber of Commerce, the recycling center and the water treatment plant. Students will get to meet the City Commissioner and talk with a panel of non-profit organizations.

LEAD Emporia will take about 25 students and is open to anyone.

Huge Activities Fair

The Huge Activities Fair will be held on Sept. 2. The deadline for organizations to reserve a table will be tomorrow. Applications can be found at http://www.emporia.edu/csi/haf/.

Currently there are about 55 organizations that have already reserved tables, said Michelle Hernandez, business administration graduate student. Students will find recognized student organizations, university departments and schools and community service organizations at the fair. Hernandez said that the Center for Student Involvement would like to offer as many tables as possible for organizations to get their names out.

In case of bad weather, the Activities Fair will be moved to Sept. 9.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity will have a ground breaking ceremony on Sept. 4 in honor of a new project starting at 215 S East Street. The family, who has a daughter in a wheelchair, also contacted the Make-A-Wish foundation, who will be building their daughter’s bedroom.

The project will take about 8 months, said Sally Conard, secretary of the Habitat for Humanity board. The group will work on Saturdays and needs about 10-20 volunteers each week. To find out more about volunteering, contact Steve Weiser at 620-366-0486 or weiserst@yahoo.com.
