A look back at our impact

On November 17, 2022, CEHD faculty members, professors and students volunteered their time and made donations, making the inaugural event a huge success. Eleven groups in total participated in the event impacting children in need, teachers, hospital workers and more. Collectively, the college donated a large box of school supplies, blankets, hats, and more to the ten K12 school districts in Kalamazoo County. Donations were gathered by College leadership, faculty/staff and students over the course of Education Week. In addition, the College surprised 10 teachers throughout the week in their schools with gift baskets, thanking them for all that they do.
