Student volunteers
The covid-19 pandemic made traditional volunteering through the University of Mount Union’s Regula Center for Public Service and Civic Engagement undoubtedly difficult. Even so, nearly 200 individuals participated in at least one of seven unique community service initiatives during the University’s fall 2020 semester.
One of those initiatives was the Holiday Helper Project, in which volunteers wrapped more than 500 books and 500 treat bags for Christmas in the Park. Elianna Seaman of Sewickley was one of the volunteers on that project.
Chancellor Honor Roll
Courtney Elizabeth Cordell of Sewickley was recently named to the University of Mississippi’s Fall 2020 Honor Roll lists. Cordell was named to the Chancellor’s Honor Roll, which is reserved for students who earn a semester GPA of 3.75-4.00.
Provost’s List
T.J. Houser of Sewickley was named to the Provost’s List for the fall 2020 semester at Capital University in Ohio. To be named to the Provost’s List, full-time, degree-seeking students must have achieved a grade point average of 3.70 to 3.849.
