Civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that,
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for
others?’” There is no doubt that some very special Penn State University
students were doing for others (and doing good) on Monday as they
took to performing a variety of outreach projects around the University Park
campus and the region as part of their annual celebration of Dr. King’s
birthday. Six of those students made it their mission to visit with, and
brighten the day of some residents of Juniper Village Rehabilitation and
Skilled Care at Brookline.
On a day off from classes, student volunteers joined forces with
our Connections department for parachute exercise, one-on-one resident visits,
and even took in some scrapbooking. Citing King’s famous 1963 “I Have a Dream”
speech, PSU senior Elizabeth Peter told the Centre Daily Times, “We are a
family. We are Penn State. We are the dream.”
