CAMPUSLIFE<br />
New Gazebo IS DEDICATED TO STUDENT COMMUNITY SERVICE<br />
A new gazebo has been erected on campus in honor of student<br />
community service efforts, thanks to the inspiration of alumnus<br />
Patrick Lehosky ’14. This fall he stopped by campus to help<br />
workers, students and staff put the finishing touches on the<br />
construction of the gazebo and explained<br />
how he came up with the idea.<br />
On the drive home from an alternative<br />
<strong>spring</strong> break in Appalachia last year,<br />
Lehosky said, he starting thinking about<br />
a way to “leave a legacy on campus and<br />
highlight service trips.” He had such a<br />
wonderful experience serving the poor in<br />
Kentucky that he wanted to encourage<br />
other students to take advantage of the<br />
opportunities Caldwell University offers<br />
for volunteerism. The gazebo, which sits<br />
in front of Werner Hall, is a “tribute to<br />
service,” he said. It will feature plaques<br />
recognizing students’ work helping<br />
nonprofits and community organizations<br />
locally, nationally and internationally.<br />
Rachel Levy, who served in Appalachia,<br />
thinks the gazebo is a great idea. “Props<br />
to Patrick,” she said.<br />
In addition to what the gazebo symbolizes, it will be a nice place<br />
to “sit, relax, have a cup of coffee and chat,” said Lehosky, but “the<br />
ultimate goal is awareness” about community service, an integral<br />
part of Caldwell’s fabric. n<br />
Climate Change Convergence:<br />
A Multi-Disciplinary Exposition<br />
The Visceglia Gallery presented an exhibition this past fall titled “Climate Change Convergence: A Multi-Disciplinary Exposition.”<br />
The interdepartmental event was spearheaded by Kendall Baker, director of the gallery. It featured contributions by students and faculty<br />
that included artwork, stories, poetry, informed commentary, scientific data, media analysis and sustainability guidelines in a multidisciplinary<br />
exhibit. Faculty, staff and students shared their diverse perspectives on the issue of climate change.<br />
