WNC students initiate Giving Tree project
Given the hostility temperature lately, it's refreshing to see young adults with cool heads mobilize for the good of the cause. The Associated Students of Western Nevada has initiated a holiday giving project to help fellow students struggling financially during the holidays.
The Giving Tree will be set up in the Bristlecone Building at WNC Carson City and Virgil Getto Hall at WNC Fallon Campus containing cards with information for a WNC student who could use a little help this holiday season, according to a news release.
Any student who feels that they are in need of help, or anyone who knows a student who could use some holiday cheer, is asked to complete an application no later than Wednesday, Nov. 21.
Applications are available in the Financial Aid, Admissions and Records, Counseling or ASWN offices, and completed applications can be submitted to the ASWN office in the Dini Building, room 105 (Carson City campus) or Pinon Hall, room 201 (Fallon campus). Drop boxes are located outside the ASWN offices to ensure that all applications are kept confidential.
Students, WNC faculty or staff, and community members can sponsor a student by selecting a card from the tree in the Bristlecone Lobby or Virgil Getto Hall beginning Monday, Nov. 26. Any gifts purchased should be delivered to the ASWN offices no later than Friday, Dec. 7.
For information, ASWN (775) 445-3323.
