Joe Mertz Center sponsors Fall Work Day
 The
Joe Mertz Center of Huntington University tied together
campus and community Oct. 20 during the organization’s annual Fall
Work Day.
The JMC has planned and coordinated this event to plunge students
into community service since 1996. Volunteers divide up into groups,
usually by floors, and are assigned a location and a project. JMC
employees contact and are contacted by organizations or people who
need volunteer help.
This year, there were 215 volunteers including 208
students, five faculty, and two staff. Volunteers went to 18
different sites to offer assistance.

Senior
assists Honduran women's ministry
 As
an incoming freshman, Katie Razor did not think she would spend
seven months of her senior year back in Honduras. Katie Razor is in
Honduras on
PRIME.
One of the reasons she chose to go to Honduras is because
that is where she lived from the time she was 15 to 18.
“My parents are missionaries here,” Razor said. “My dad is
the CFO for World Gospel Outreach, and my mom is the women’s
minister and praise and worship coordinator at the English-speaking
church we attend.”

University, saw her poem titled “Windex” in the quarterly

hearing back.
