Community House
A $2,100 Alumni Advisory Board Grant was awarded for outdoor improvements to the Community House. Enhancements like rocking chairs and plants created a welcoming space for students to meet, study, and socialize, supporting recruitment efforts by fostering a sense of community and providing a unique gathering spot for prospective students, families, and community members.
