Among the many exhibits were registered nurses who presented small group education.

A cooking demonstration was provided courtesy of SODEXCO (Cone Health) and faculty from Human Performance and Leisure Studies Department, School of Education lead many participants in physical activities.

  The School of Nursing third Annual Diabetes Awareness Walk

  The School of Nursing (SON) Community Engaged Scholarship Interest Group (CEIG), with Dr. Marychristiana Uzochukwu as the facilitator
  organized the SON third annual diabetes awareness walk. 56 people participated in this event, including the School of Nursing faculty, staff, and students;
  students from other disciplines on campus; and some nearby community members.

  The event was supported by the Cone Health Nutrition and Diabetes Center and the Minority Men’s Health Initiative who exhibited their respective community service information and shared valuable educational materials on prevention and management of type 2 diabetes with participants.

  Free flu vaccines supplied by the Cone Health Faith-based Nursing were provided to interested persons. In addition, monetary donations were made to the American Diabetes Association.

  It takes a community effort to narrow the gap of disparity created by type 2 diabetes among minority populations and eventually stop this disease in all populations.

Founded in 1979 to serve dinner to homeless women, Thrive DC has grown to be a comprehensive, professionally staffed, bilingual organization serving more than 2,000 men, women, and children each year”. Through our donations we were able to provide over 154 pairs of socks. Greg Rockwell from Thrive DC stated that, "154 pairs of socks means that we can give one pair to everyone who comes to us for breakfast one day. Which is a great Christmas surprise." We are truly happy that we are able to help bless others this holiday and winter season.

  Celebration Bowl Community Service Project

  On December 18 and 19, 2015, Aggies attending the Celebration Bowl in Atlanta, GA participated in the Celebration Bowl Community Service Project by donating toiletries and giving cash donations to support the Powerfully United Radically Equipped (P.U.R.E.) Youth Group's effort to collect items that will be given to the homeless community in Atlanta.  The cash donations were used to purchase blankets which is a must needed item in the homeless community since shelter is not always guaranteed.  Collectively, the Aggies provided over 35 blankets, 300 boxes of soap and countless other toiletry items.  One of the members of the youth group was able to come by the Chancellor's Reception and receive a large bag of items that had been donated along with a gift bag of Aggie Gear that was provided by alumnus Shandette Harper.  The remaining items were delivered to the P.U.R.E. Youth Group on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 for which they were extremely grateful as they immediately began to sort the items so that they could prepare the bags that would be given to the homeless community.  The Aggies only had a week to prepare but the response was tremendous which made this community service project a huge success.
