Softball Team Gives Back to the Local Community

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - On October 3, members of the Stevenson softball team joined fellow students to reach out and lend a hand on local community projects for "Building Community Day." Over 400 students participated throughout the day at six area locations.

The team was one of seven teams from Stevenson, including women's basketball, baseball, women's lacrosse, men's lacrosse, women's soccer and men's golf, to particpate.

The student-athletes had various assignments from planting trees, removing invasive plant species, cleaning and harvesting fruits and vegetables that were donated to local food shelters.

"Building Community Day is not only a wonderful way to give back to the community, but it is also a way to show love and humble our hearts to those who deserve it," said senior business communication major, Maya Shipley.

Some of the community organizations that will be helped include the Southeast Community Development Corporation, Irvine Nature Center, Civic Works/REACH! School, Fresh Farm Fruits, Edison Neighborhood Corporation and Highlandtown Merchants Association.

"Part of Stevenson University's core mission is service to the community," said Chris Noya, Assistant Vice President for Experiential Learning and Career Services. "Through Building Community Day and other service events throughout the year, students become more aware
of the world around them and of the value of being involved, caring citizens. This day brings SU students, faculty, and staff together in the spirit of community and service."
