“Kids from the neighborhood stopped to stare as we worked to build the playground,”
she says. “It was a great feeling knowing that I was helping make a place for
them to play and have fun. I cannot wait to show people what we helped build.”
Humes, Ferrell and Brenner represented
the Dean’s Dozen, a group of extraordinary
students who act as ambassadors,
spreading their enthusiasm for the college
and UA across numerous events that
include admissions, academic and alumni/
donor activities. They also advise the administration
on key issues facing students
and participate in leadership and servicelearning
activities.
“I would have to say that building a playground in one day was the most meaningful
experience that we have provided for our members of the Dean’s Dozen,” says
Waltonen-Moore. “This event had civic engagement in mind and it was very
rewarding to participate in this event. At one point I looked across the street and
three of the children from the community had set out a blanket and they watched
for several hours as a team of 200 volunteers constructed their playground. You
could see the excitement in the community and it was very rewarding.”
