Southeastern students, faculty and staff will have the chance to help rebuild the campus of Union University during spring break, as Union tries to move on post-tornado.
The Southern Baptist university, located in Jackson, Tenn., sustained heavy damage to the campus after an F-4 tornado ripped through on February 5. Estimates of damage to campus exceed $40 million dollars. In an effort to help the school continue the rebuilding process, Southeastern will be sponsoring a trip to help with landscaping and grounds repair.
The trip will take place April 24-26, which is the end of Southeastern’s spring break. Meals, transportation and lodging will be provided for Southeasterners who wish to go and help with landscaping work. Students can also receive one hour of class credit for participating.
To find out more information about the trip, please contact Benjamin Quinn (919-761-2283) in the Student Development office. If you’d like to register, please contact Elizabeth Graham (919-761-2200).
