The SAES Ambassadors are collecting winter clothing (coats, hats, sweaters, jackets, gloves and scarves) for donation to Greensboro Urban Ministry. Boxes for donations are at Webb , Carver, Sockwell, Benbow, and the child development lab’s temporary location at the New Millennium Christian Center at 424 Fisher Park Circle. The drive will wind up on Dec. 4, when the Ambassadors deliver the donations they’ve collected to Greensboro Urban Ministry’s clothing bank for distribution to individuals who will be facing the upcoming winter homeless or without the financial resources to purchase winter clothing.
Each academic year, approximately 20 SAES students are selected as Ambassadors to represent the SAES at receptions and ceremonies, and to help out with community service activities such as the winter clothing drive. The student organization’s officers for the 2009-10 academic year are: Barry Donovan, president; Amber Lassiter, vice president; Shaniqua Smith, secretary; Andrea Gentry, historian; Sierra Burrell, public relations coordinator; Lindsey McNeil, parliamentarian; and Katrina Veney, treasurer.
