New NU Students Help Rehab House In Niagara Falls With Habitat For Humanity
Before even taking their first official class as Niagara University freshmen, sixteen students are helping to fulfill the institution’s Catholic and Vincentian mission.
The students, who are participating in the Niagara University Opportunity Program, spent most of July 18 working with the Niagara Area Habitat for Humanity to rehabilitate a house on 37th Street in Niagara Falls, N.Y.
The day of service was organized by Sharon Green, a NUOP instructor and coordinator of instructional services in NU’s Office of Academic Support. Green previously received a Service Learning Grant from the university to fund the initiative. The goal of the grant is to incorporate service learning into a course.
