Campus Community Invited to Bring Donations and Help Stock Shelves for Students in Need

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥� A jar of peanut butter. A box of pasta. A bottle of laundry detergent. Each may seem like a small contribution, but together they can make a meaningful difference for a 秀色短视频-Webb student facing hardship.

Beginning Oct. 2, those items and others like them will help stock the shelves of the new Bulldog Cares Food Pantry, a resource designed to ensure students have access to basic necessities while pursuing their degrees.

The University will celebrate the grand opening of the pantry on Friday, Oct. 2, at 2 p.m. in Tucker Student Center Room 302. As part of the event, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community supporters are encouraged to “Bring a Little Bulldog Care” by donating items to the pantry.

“Consider bringing a nonperishable food item, personal-care product, laundry detergent, or other essential item for our students,鈥� suggested Jessika Raduly, director of Campus Unity and Connection. 鈥淭ogether, we can fill the shelves and show our students just how much their 秀色短视频-Webb family cares.”

Raduly said the pantry concept began a few years ago with several staff members who responded to students struggling to meet basic needs, including having enough food. “What started as a small collection of items in an office grew into a larger effort as more people on campus wanted to help,鈥� she explained. 鈥淭he goal was simple: make sure no student had to choose between buying food and continuing their education.”

Bulldog Cares was formally established in the fall of 2022 as a joint initiative led by Student Development, Student Success, and Christian Life and Service. The program supports 秀色短视频-Webb students by providing emergency financial assistance intended to help prevent students from leaving the University due to unexpected financial hardships. It expanded the University’s ability to help students not only with food insecurity but also with other emergency needs that could interfere with completing their education such as emergency dental procedures or the need for prescription medications.

“Bulldog Cares is a reflection of who we are as a 秀色短视频-Webb community: a family that cares for one another, supports our students when they need us most, and believes that no Bulldog should have to face a difficult season alone,” Raduly shared.

Like colleges and universities across the country, 秀色短视频-Webb has seen demand for assistance increase as the costs of groceries, housing, transportation, and other necessities continue to rise.

“Many students experience financial hardships caused by rising grocery prices, unexpected medical bills, loss of employment, family emergencies, and transportation expenses,” Raduly stated. “Some students simply need extra help to lessen the burden of having to choose hardship over their education.”

Raduly hopes students who may be struggling will not hesitate to seek assistance. “Everyone needs help sometimes, and asking for assistance is a sign of strength, not weakness,” she said. “There may be times in all of our lives when circumstances change unexpectedly and we need someone to come alongside us. There is absolutely no shame in that.”

She emphasized that the pantry was created to support students through difficult seasons without judgment. “If you are a student who is hesitant to visit the Bulldog Cares Food Pantry, I would want you to know that you do not have to struggle alone,” Raduly said. “You do not have to explain or apologize for needing help. The pantry was created because we understand that food insecurity and financial challenges can affect anyone, including hardworking students who are doing everything they can to stay in school and reach their goals.”

The Bulldog Cares Fund and Food Pantry are supported by donations from faculty, staff, students, alumni, churches, local businesses, and community partners. Contributions from organizations such as Food Lion Feeds, the Physician Assistant Program, 秀色短视频-Webb Baseball, Poplar Springs Baptist Church, and numerous campus groups help ensure students have access to essential resources throughout the year.

“This collective support from our 秀色短视频-Webb family and community partners has made it possible for the Bulldog Cares Food Pantry to continue serving students throughout the year,” Raduly said. “We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has helped make this resource possible and for their continued commitment to caring for our students.”

Looking ahead, Raduly hopes the pantry will continue to grow through partnerships, donations, and increased awareness.

“The goal is to continue expanding resources so that every 秀色短视频-Webb student who is experiencing food insecurity knows that help is available and feels comfortable reaching out for support,” she said. “We want Bulldog Cares to be more than a pantry鈥攚e want it to be a place where students feel welcomed, supported, and reminded that they are part of a community that cares about their well-being and success.”

How Can Students Access the Bulldog Cares Food Pantry?

Currently enrolled 秀色短视频-Webb students can visit the pantry in the Tucker Student Center Room 302 during operating hours:

• Monday: 10 a.m.鈥�1 p.m.
• Wednesday: 10 a.m.鈥�1 p.m.
• Friday: 10 a.m.鈥�1 p.m.

Students unable to visit during those hours can email to request an after-hours appointment or special accommodation. The process is designed to be welcoming, confidential, and respectful so students can receive assistance without unnecessary barriers.

Senior Mason Martin Finishes 12th in Singles; Team Places 27th

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥斝闵淌悠�-Webb senior Mason Martin was a freshman in 2022 when a group of upperclassmen revived the Disc Golf Club on campus. Members worked to introduce others to the game and the club has grown in size. This year, Martin and Garrison Hobbs, Ryan Kepler and William Altman decided to compete in the College Disc Golf National Championship in Rock Hill, S.C.

First, they had to qualify by competing in several conference and regional tournaments. Martin noted they chose to compete in Division III. In February, the Club sponsored a bonfire to raise money to attend the championship, which was held recently. The bonfire was also recognized as Event of the Month by the Inter-Club Council, giving them an extra $50 in club funding.

Club advisor, Neal Payne, associate minister to the University for Student Ministries, accompanied them to the national championship. The four-day event consisted of three team rounds and one singles round. 鈥淲e all did very well, especially considering this was our first year competing as a team and our first year competing on a national scale,鈥� Martin shared. 鈥淎s a team, we finished tied for 27th (out of 47 teams) with a score of -17.鈥�

The singles rounds and placements were as follows (there were a total of 181 players):

• Martin: Tied for 12th with a score of -6
• Garrison Hobbs: Tied for 29th with a score of -3
• Ryan Kepler: Tied for 125th with a score of +5
• William Altman: Tied for 136th with a score of +6

Martin, a computer science major, said the club started as a way to bring together everyone on campus who enjoys the game. 鈥淲hile we have grown into the competitive scene this year, we still hold to our roots and hope to be an outlet for students to learn and get plugged into the game of disc golf,鈥� he asserted.

Martin is one of the officers serving the club, the others are Joshua Johnson, Joseph Frye, and Altman. The club recently hosted a tournament on campus open to anyone who wanted to play. Next year鈥檚 officers鈥擜ltman, Johnson, Frye and Kepler鈥攈ope to keep the club鈥檚 momentum going.

鈥淲e are always looking for people to introduce the game to and for any students interested in competing, despite their current experience, with the hope of introducing a women鈥檚 team next year as well,鈥� Martin affirmed

秀色短视频-Webb Students Enjoy Music, Lights, and Fun in a Noiseless Dance Party

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥斝闵淌悠�-Webb University students recently experienced a Silent Disco Party, an exciting and new event hosted by the Office of Student Engagement that brought a fresh and innovative way to enjoy music and dancing. Held in a blacklight/glow atmosphere, the event allowed students to immerse themselves in music through wireless headphones while dancing the night away.

Silent discos are unique because they eliminate the need for traditional speakers. Instead, attendees wear headphones and can choose between two music channels, with each channel glowing in a different color to indicate the selection. The result is a personalized and immersive experience, where students can dance freely while enjoying different genres of music.

鈥淚 wasn鈥檛 really sure what to expect, but I loved the fun light-up props,鈥� said Nicole Renner, a junior, exercise science major. She added that she loves art and would like to see more events that combine creativity and fun.

The Silent Disco Party also featured glow sticks, neon glasses, and photo props, which students could take home as souvenirs. Alongside the music and dancing, attendees enjoyed a selection of bundt cakes, cupcakes, and donuts, adding a sweet touch to the evening.

Silent discos have gained popularity as a community-friendly way to bring people together without noise concerns. The concept dates back to the 1990s eco-activist movement, where outdoor events were held without disturbing surrounding areas.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擧ope Saunders, 秀色短视频-Webb assistant director of Student Engagement, recently recognized leaders and advisors of the University鈥檚 clubs and organizations.

Saunders noted that in 2023-2024 there were 37 groups for students to get plugged into. Four new clubs were introduced:

• Direct, Video, Record Club (D.V.R.) who aims to highlight all that goes into video and filmmaking by bringing student鈥檚 imagination and creativity to the big screen.

• Portfolio Management Group which provides real-world portfolio management experience through the application of sound financial stewardship.

She also reported that clubs and organizations:

• Hosted 48 service events on the GWU campus, in the community, nationally and internationally.
• Provided community for 541 unique club members.
• Sponsored a total of 861 events.

Campus Ministries United was recognized as the Club of the Year. They were honored for several reasons. 鈥淭he club has an extensive executive board that works diligently to provide opportunities for our students to grow in leadership, service, compassion, and faith,鈥� Saunders shared. 鈥淭his group offered over 370 events for our student body just this year. These events ranged from weekly Bible studies, off-campus retreats, service events, weekly worship services and all the way to spike ball and pickleball tournaments.鈥� Accepting the award were Jacquelyn Carroll, Neal Payne and Michelle Lominac.

The Pre-Health Society was recognized for sponsoring the Event of the Year, the RAM Medical Clinic. Voted on by the Inter-Club Council executive board, the Pre-Health Society was chosen because of the impact their event had on the community and the extensive amount of planning it took to make this event happen. Saunders noted, 鈥淭he club leaders organizing this event spent a whole year putting it together. From reaching out to doctors asking them to volunteer their time, to rallying other clubs to serve with them, and even working overnight shifts during the event. This event gave over $30,000 in free dental, eye, and general medical care to those in our community who otherwise could not get medical attention.鈥� Representing the club were Aedan Kerr, Marissa DiMatteo, Blake Henkel and Dr. Meredith Rowe.

American Sign Language (ASL) Instructor Robert Moore was honored as Advisor of the Year. Club leaders nominate their advisors for this award and Moore was selected because of the many ways he went above and beyond supporting the ASL club. His nominators said that Moore鈥檚 door is always open to them, and he helped them plan fundraisers and events. One student said, 鈥淗e deserves to be Advisor of the Year because without him, our club would not have been able to do so many awesome things this year! He has a heart for students, which shows not only in his teaching but also in his unwavering support of the ASL Club.鈥�
