For Humanity, For our Community

Pro-Humanitate- latin; For Humanity

Filled with the hustle and bustle of extracurriculars, classes, and social events, our university campus can be described in one word: busy. We utilize our time management skills to make the deadline for an editorial, squeeze a meeting for an organization, all the while balancing the long-hours preparing for the rigors of academics. Amidst the frenzied schedule of both university students and faculty, the time for community service and civic engagement can be lost in the shuffle. Indeed, volunteer service and community outreach are thriving at Wake Forest via programs through the Volunteer Service Corps. and various organizations, but is that enough? In troubling times, as our current economy, we may remain complacent in the community work done thus far. “Every little bit helps, right?” Agreeably, the communities served internationally and domestically prove the global scope of Wake Forest’s helping hand. However, we must continue to look deeper into the Winston-Salem community that welcomes Wake Forest’s citizens, for ways to help the humbled host. Through continuous efforts from the Wake Forest community, via service-learning programs or organizational partnerships, we can develop and sustain the help that is most needed in our community.
