Students compete for a cause, help the Rolla Mission
Posted by Jess Lane
Students Grace Epp, Claire Bogaard and Kyley Henry, along with materials science and engineering faculty Dr. Charmayne Lonergan and Dr. Michael Moats and sixth-grade student Dylan Wilkerson, contributed over 2,000 items to the Rolla Mission.
A local sixth grader’s idea inspired an annual donation drive to benefit the Rolla Mission this holiday season. The materials science and engineering department collected more than 2,000 items for the local homeless community, marking one of its largest contributions to date. Ceramic and metallurgical engineering students engaged in a rivalry, gathering essential supplies including hygiene products, home goods and food. This year, the department’s long-standing tradition of organizing a holiday food drive took on new significance, expanding its focus to address community needs.
