The students launched a sock drive today to collect new socks for the homeless population, a critical need for those living on the streets.
"Foot care is a really big issue," says Alexandra MacKinnon, noting the cold and snowy weather conditions this fall have increased the demand for social services. "We recognize the need and are excited to be making a difference."
Drop boxes are available at security, the library, the Students' Association office, and in the E Wing now until Nov. 29.
Muzzy for Medics While an abundance of mustaches is common this time of year, paramedic students are taking their fundraising efforts to the next level this Movember. In addition to men growing the traditional stache, female students are also setting aside their razors and growing their leg and armpit hair. Together, their fundraising effort, "Muzzy for Medics" has raised approximately $2,300.
