Description
Faculty are invited to a Local Issues Coffee Hour focused on post-Helene service, particular nonprofits that still need help building and fixing washed out bridges that connect homeowners to public roads. Event is 11/7/25
Local Issue Coffee Hours are an opportunity for faculty and nonprofit community partners to come together in a relaxed environment to consider future collaborations. The agenda is light and the mood is informal but the hope is that, as smart people gather in the same room, they'll form new ideas and productive partnerships. Faculty can find ways to connect their students to local needs via service-learning and nonprofit leaders can offer themselves as a resource to faculty.
This Local Issues Coffee Hour is for faculty and nonprofit leaders interested or involved in ways to engage in service-learning related to post-Helene infrastructure needs, especially small bridges that were washed out in the storm. Several local nonprofits address this need. This gathering will generate such ideas and connections.
Event is 11/7/25 from 8:30-9:30AM in Anne Belk Hall 218 classroom (CETLSS)
