Engage & Exchange Challenge

This spring semester, Western Kentucky University through its staff at the WKU ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships are increasing its efforts to highlight student engagement activities at WKU.  The Engage & Exchange Challenge will highlight student engagement activities and share the impact WKU students make in the community. The goal of the challenge is to Engage students and Exchange ideas on how they can make a difference.  

The EEC is divided into three categories in which undergraduate students can participate. The three categories include: multi-media, still photography, and writing. The categories will allow students in any academic department to incorporate their education and their passion while at the same time bringing to light the positive difference being made in our regional community. The prizes for the contest are multi-media $1,000, still photography $500, and writing $500. Please click here to see the Official Rules Site.

Introduction to Service Learning
February 16th
Instructor:  Cheryl Kirby-Stokes Location:  Alive Center 00
Time:
  10:00 - 12:00 Description:  Confused about what Service-Learning is EXACTLY? Are you curious enough to want to learn not only what it is but how to place it in your curriculum? Then please join us in this seminar. You’ll not only leave knowing exactly what Service-Learning is, you’ll also leave with materials and resources to get you started. In addition, you’ll receive instruction on how to conduct Civic Reflections, a great tool to get students thinking critically about service, and you’ll hear from students themselves about the impact Service-Learning had on them both inside and outside the classroom. Co-sponsored by ALIVE Center and FaCET. BSCT: approved. Faculty and Staff interested in incorporating service-learning in the course curriculum, click HERE to register.

Growing Regionally

BCMS Trojan Academy Beta students traveled to Glasgow Health and Rehab just before Christmas to pass out Christmas presents to the residents.  Shown below are Megan Garrison, Jordan Gardner, Dorothy Holmes resident of Glasgow Health and Rehab, Will Bradshaw and Bailey Staples.

Barren County Schools are one example of the contacts the WKU ALIVE Center is making throughout our 27-county region. As we continue to work to build partnerships and contacts in the area, please stay posted on what is going on regionally by viewing our regional page at http://www.wku.edu/alive/regionaldirectory.html.
