Amy and Rob Heinrich P’22 of Grayslake, Illinois, create life-changing opportunities for ‘tough and tenacious’ students in the Odyssey Program. Their gift is counted toward the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ LEADS Campaign.

The "It Takes a Village" Project's fall semester concluded with a food-themed lesson hosted by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Dining and Harvest Table Culinary Group.

The project will conclude for the year with a hands-on learning event held in partnership with Harvest Table Culinary Group on Dec. 4 in Alumni Gym.

A partnership between ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s It Takes a Village Project and the Harvest Table Culinary Group has included an innovative approach that incorporates cooking into helping students understand mathematical concepts.

Cindy Fair, Tony Crider, Haya Ajjan and Jean Rattigan-Rohr shared their innovative scholarship, insights into teaching and approaches to community engagement at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Talks: Faculty Voices.

From July 9-20, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is hosting 176 Alamance-Burlington School System students at Summer in the Village, a summer academic preparedness and enrichment program of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's It Takes a Village Project. 

Among those volunteering with the Village project this semester — members of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's men's and women's basketball teams. 

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's "It Takes a Village" Project began in 2008 with ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ education students providing after-school reading assistance to 16 third-graders. 

What began as a personal bookmobile project is now receiving rave reviews for its impact on the education of young readers during summer vacation.

The initiative is part of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's Center for Access and Success and pairs tutors with students in all levels of elementary and secondary school to help them succeed in school.
