MLK Day of Service 2012

Educating the Next Generation

The brothers of Lambda Phi Epsilon and the sisters of Chi Sigma Alpha volunteered this past MLK Day by teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) workshops to local elementary and middle school youth. In spite of inclement weather conditions (the university ended the week early to due excessive snow), Lambdas wanted to celebrate MLK Day as a day on, and not as a day off from school. Many may see MLK Day as a holiday, but Lambdas especially saw this as an opportunity to give back to the community. It was rewarding to see brothers and sisters united to give the gift of education to first-generation prospective college-bound children to honor Dr. King’s legacy. The effort that both Greek organizations put into serving the Cascades Science Center Foundation at StudentRND was invaluable to fulfilling the mission of both education-related nonprofit organizations.
