We Serve U donation drive

Through August 12, Wright State University’s We Serve U, a subcommittee of the Staff Council, will be collecting school supplies to donate to Westwood School. Westwood is a 100 percent Title One school in a low-income neighborhood in Dayton. Wright State has partnered with Westwood many times for service projects, sending students as tutors and volunteers.

During the school supply drive, We Serve U will place collection bins around campus. These bins are located in the Student Union, Joshi Research Center, Russ, Medical Sciences, Allyn Hall, Millet Hall, Fawcett Hall, Rike Hall, University Hall, the Dunbar Library and the Nutter Center.

The organizations' first fundraiser, We Serve U worked with Recreation Fitness at the Employee Fitness Walk last May to raise money for Hospice of Dayton. Pictured from from left to right: Kim Everhart; Greg Coffey; Iris Mirelez; Connie Gehret; Fran Keeley and Linda Baker.
