Islamo-fascism Week prompts students to hold service event
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on a student service event organized in response to Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.
- The News-Letter reported that JHUMA and the Interfaith Community organized “Healing a Fractured World,” Hopkins’s first collaborative day of service, with help from campus groups.
- The paper reported that 12 service groups and nine religious groups took part; Brittany Schriver said they came together to show that different groups shared a commitment to service.
- The article adds that the Gilman tunnel hosted 12 activities supporting 12 community-building organizations in Baltimore, including scarf-making and sandwich-making.
- The reporter writes that organizers estimated the event cost about $3,000, including T-shirts, with funding from the Interfaith Council, the HSA collaboration committee and Campus Ministries.
- According to the article, Schriver said the event drew more support than expected, with people stopping by for as little as half an hour.
