COM '25 students Grace Shahid and Joyce Ahmad, and R. Schuyler Hook, interim director of Student Life, on their fantastic 10-day book drive. Inspired by a patient’s dedication to collecting books for an under-resourced library in Jamaica, West Indies, they collected hundreds of books on various topics. The books will be given to the Jamaica Library Service Network, Westmoreland Parish, in Jamaica.
Thank you to Sophia Zweig, Kassandra Carrion, Nabil Mahmoud, Peter Arden and Ethan Cai for assisting with setting up the boxes and organizing the books.
