HCC Invited To Join
White House Initiative
Housatonic is participating in the President's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, an initiative inviting institutions of higher education to commit to a year of interfaith and community service programming on campus. Housatonic's project focuses on health and healthy living, and includes a broad range of programs and activities to promote this among the diverse populations of the campus and community. The topic was selected because good health is something that spans religious boundaries and that people can come together to promote.
