Twenty-one students in Marge Shirilla's (Assistant Professor of Social Work) first year experience (FYE) class recently took the concept of service learning to heart when they volunteered to create gift boxes for children being sheltered by the Northwest Georgia Family Crisis Center. The center is a non-profit organization which provides temporary housing and other services for women and children who are the victims of domestic violence. Pictured are some of the students who participated in the project, which involved filling shoe boxes with candy, toys, books, hats, gloves, and other small gifts and then wrapping and tagging the boxes for
appropriate age groups.
