On February 22, Oglethorpe University students participated in a beautification project at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, as a part of Oglethorpe's civic engagement Service Saturday program. The program is designed to expose students to diverse communities around Atlanta and their service needs.
When reflecting on the experience, student volunteer Justin Bennett said, "I was really happy when Erica [a horticulturalist who led the project] said that she really appreciated our work and that we were the best group she has had."
The Service Saturday volunteers included the following Oglethorpe students:
Victor Navarrete
Skylar Buggs
Andrea Carlos
Natalia (Taly) Torrens-Soto
Jazmyne Everett
Justin Bennett
Kaniya Bates
Lillian Coleman
