Trine University's Multicultural Student Organization delivered presents it had collected
for a local family in need on Friday, Dec. 14.
The organization collected more than 25 presents for a mother and four children at Carlin Park Elementary School in Angola.
In the top photo, from left, Sybil Kurian, a sophomore from Elkhart, Indiana; Pauline Odambo, a junior from Nairobi, Kenya; and Deb McHenry, executive director of student success and retention, load the presents into a van for delivery. In the photo at right, Odambo, Yancy Paola Hansford Bejarano, a junior from Honduras who is president of the Multicultural Student Organization, McHenry and Kurian give the presents to Molly Floyd, principal at Carlin Park.
When their son Parker received his diploma from Trine University President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., at this year’s May Commencement, it was a full-circle moment for Stephen and Brooke Pelletier.
Golfers and sponsors at Trine University’s 36th annual Alumni and Friends Golf Outing contributed a record amount for student scholarships, raising $115,000 at the Aug. 7 event.
It may sound like all fun and games, but two Trine University faculty members gave academic presentations during North America’s largest board gaming convention.
