Acts of Kindness - How It All Began
As the days got shorter, and spirits needed a boost, faculty housing residents participated in a community project called Acts of Kindness in December 2020. Faculty Housing, Work Life, and Community Engagement collaborated to lead this effort to distribute DIY kits for residents to take home and decorate over 60 greeting cards and gift bags to distribute food and toiletries to neighbors, including Visiting Neighbors seniors.
