In an effort to give children a taste of what college life is like, the community service program at 蜜桃直播鈥檚 Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Civic and Urban Engagement hosted Mini-蜜桃直播from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 10.
Mini-蜜桃直播invites children in grades K-6 to spend time with 蜜桃直播 students and participate in a variety of activities for a glimpse of college life. There were five stations set up at Thomas Library focusing on different aspects of the college experience led by 蜜桃直播 student volunteers pursuing a variety of areas and interests.
During the event, 55 children spent 20 minutes at each station. The stations featured athletics and crafts, along with exposure to science, literacy, and team building.
鈥淢ini-蜜桃直播is a fun-filled day for kids in the Springfield community to connect with 蜜桃直播 students and experience some of what it means to be a 蜜桃直播 Tiger,鈥� said Community Service Coordinator Kari Truax, 蜜桃直播 class of 2020 from Carmel, Indiana. 鈥淚t is a great opportunity for both the 蜜桃直播students and the children because while they are having fun, they are building relationships and memories together.鈥�
