College is known as a liberating experience. A journey to adulthood where one forms his or her own views on local, national and global issues. With so many people from different cities, states, countries and continents, you learn something new everyday. This is also an opportunity to get involved in helping those in need. We all know of the tragic earthquake in Haiti, and as student here we feel we can't contribute. Luckily IU is donating goods and collecting other supplies to be packaged and shipped in efforts to aid those people in need. They are doing this in two ways.
First, all the residence halls are competing in the "Cram the Container for Haiti" contest. Each residence hall will have a box in front of its center desk where students may donated some of the listed supplies needed. They include canned goods, antibacterial lotions and more. The hall which raises the most goods will receive a prize for its entire community.
Second, specifically Wright Quad, held a special Open Mic night to raise donations and awareness about the help needed in Haiti. Several student showcased their talents for a good cause and free food. It was held in Wright's Formal Lounge.
