Honors Day of Service - Sweat for Hope

The honors scholars are establishing a tradition of participation in the National Collegiate Honors Council's National Honors Service Day. Each semester, the NCHC selects a day and asks honors programs across the country to perform service. In Fall 2008, the scholars at Penn State Brandywine created a two-part service project. First, on October 17, the scholars arranged an open mic on campus to discuss world food problems and collected donations for Profugo. Then, on October 25, a group of scholars, with the honors coordinators, participated in Profugo's Sweat for Hope 5K in Ridley Creek State Park. The scholars raised $50 for Profugo, and many of the scholars completed the 5K in record time! Two additional medalists are missing from the photo below (all photos from the 5K can be viewed on Profugo's Flickr page). Congrats to all for helping a local organization making a global difference!

Medal winners:  Gold - Yee Lin Tan and Dr. Goldschmidt; Silver - Alexis Bennett, Qian Ye and Chris Collins; Bronze - Matt Bachman and Ashlee Hutras
