Step Up promotes philanthropy, service
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 government”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article reports on Step Up, a week-long series promoting philanthropy and service among Hopkins undergraduates.
- The News-Letter reported that Step Up ran from Sunday through Friday for the third year, and quoted Bryn Carroll saying the event recognized people who give time and money to Hopkins.
- The paper reported that the week included a launch party, a life-sized board game in Levering Plaza and smoothies on the Beach commemorating 70,000 hours of undergraduate community service.
- The article adds that Carroll described giving time and effort as an important form of giving, while freshman Alvaro Lasa said students often stopped for free food but were usually passing through.
- The reporter writes that the Step Up website featured videos of Student Government Association members and other campus groups; in one video, Junior Class President Alexandra Larsen said funds were available for new initiatives and ideas.
- According to the article, the Office of Early Engagement funded the week’s events, while Step Up staff declined to provide details about the budget’s size.
