The Spirit of Change is a movement of students inspiring students. Whether it is a free cup of coffee or an umbrella given out on a rainy day, the Blue Key Honor Society inspires students by performing random acts of kindness throughout the semester.

A “well” will be set up in the Havener Center Atrium during Opening Week and the first week of classes to raise funds for the program. Students, faculty and staff can drop their extra change into the well. Additionally, vehicles created during Project X will be auctioned to the campus community, with proceeds going to the Spirit of Change. In 2016, students raised $3,000 for the Spirit of Change.

All funds raised are used to make a difference in students’ lives. Examples of previous acts of kindness are: parking meters paid for a day; juice and homemade cupcakes after a math exam; free cups of coffee from the Student Success Center; hot chocolate on a cold day; free tailgate before a Miners game; and helping struggling students.

All it takes is a little change to make a big impact. If you are interested in supporting this project, please contact the Blue Key Honor Society at web.mst.edu/~bluekey.
