Students Host Neighborhood Cleanup and BBQ
New Haven, CT — June 25, 2009A group of Yale University School of Nursing students organized a
neighborhood cleanup and barbecue for the residents of the Church
Street South apartments, a housing project located one block from YSN.
The
event was organized by YSN's Student Diversity Action Committee (SDAC),
with support from Assistant Professor and SDAC faculty advisor Angelina Chambers and Associate Dean Barbara Guthrie.
The
day drew around 20 volunteers and 75 residents, and began with a
clean-up of the courtyard. Volunteers then planted flowers donated by
area garden centers. The event ended with a barbecue and outdoor
activities. Photos of the event here.
SDAC also cosponsored the Healthy Neighbors Day event at the apartments in February.
