Langston Nursing Students Serve Community Through Day of Caring

Written by , Posted in Community, Langston University, Oklahoma, Students

More than 70 nursing students from Langston University will partner with Habitat for Humanity for a ‘Day of Caring’ this Wednesday. The annual event, which usually brings faculty and students together for fellowship, has been converted by the students into a day of service, supporting Stillwater’s elderly and underprivileged communities. From the Stillwater News Press:

“We are partnering with Habitat for Humanity and we’ve got a group of about 70 students,” said Langston University Instructor Pamela Stokes. “Some of us will do a neighborhood cleanup. Some of them will be at a construction site building a home. The third group will be at a couple of older homes that they are repainting and fixing up for some families. The last group will work at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.”
