A New Chapter Begins...
We are proud to announce that CASLE has joined the office of Student Leadership and Community Engagement on the third floor of Moseley Hall.  Feel free to come and visit us in our new space.  Each month we will use this newsletter to highlight service-learning efforts going on throughout our campus, community, and state.  Please let us know what we can do to strengthen your projects and partnerships.  We're looking forward to another great year!


2016-2017 Mini Grants 


CASLE mini-grants are intended to directly support activities related to developing, implementing or expanding service-learning opportunities for MSU students or 4-H youth. Service-learning integrates meaningful community service and critical reflection into academic course or 4-H program objectives to enrich the educational experience of students and youth in order to teach civic responsibility and meet the needs of a community.

Hunger Banquet and Stop Hunger Now Service Event - Oct. 21, 2016
                                     


On Friday, October 21st we will be hosting an Oxfam Hunger Banquet and Stop Hunger Now packaging event in the Bost Auditorium.  Event details are on Org Sync.  https://orgsync.com/78821/opportunities/1529486/occurrences/3520251


The Oxfam America Hunger Banquet is a memorable, interactive event that brings hunger and poverty issues to life. After 40 years, this volunteer-led effort is still going strong-and has changed hundreds of thousands of lives.  Volunteers will raise hunger awareness by sitting down and eating according to the economic class chosen for them.  
 
Stop Hunger Now is an international organization that distributes meals through feeding programs operated by partner organizations in developing countries.  Their partner programs that promote education, encourage children to attend school, improve students' health and nutrition, address gender inequalities, stimulate economic growth, fight child labor, and are crucial to address global issues. Volunteers will package food products that will be loaded and sent to areas in need.
