The President of Western Kentucky University has said in the Spirit of WKU Engagement magazine: “As a public university, we understand that we have a responsibility to provide both a high quality education that will prepare students for their careers, as well as opportunities for students to develop into socially responsible citizens who understand the value of contributing to society on a regional, national, and international level.” Based on this motto, the WKU Alive Center has built up a Community Revitalization Project for graduate students who live in the Community Engagement House.
The purpose of this project is to give these students a great opportunity to approach the neighborhood area for the enhancement of their living environment and assessment of the provided assets in this region. More importantly, while working for this community development project, graduate students will utilize their academic study in their occupation and generate two-way application between school work and practical job.
To maintain regular contacts among the neighborhood, this blog was shaped as a means of communication. We will post events and update news coming up in this blog so that all neighbors know what is going on in the neighborhood. Frequent access to this house blog and valuable contributions are always welcome!
Once again, on behalf of students working for this project, I would like to welcome all of you to the Community Engagement House and hope to receive your great supports in the future.
