Paul was impressed by how much the students are involved in the community events as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe make sure that we involve the students in everything that we do because we really want them to start giving back to the community too. We foster that in them as soon as they start going to school with us.\u201d -Stacey Clark, Assistant Campus Director of Education<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not only did they get a chance to talk about what they have been doing recently, they were able to give some information regarding upcoming events as well.

Also in March, the campus is hosting a food drive that will benefit the Blue Water Food Depot. The campus\u2019 goal is 1500 items and they invite the entire community to come and drop off donations at their front desk.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s rare that you work for a company that not only supports it, but strongly encourages community involvement; I think it\u2019s one of the most special things about Ross. We\u2019re teaching professional healthcare students what it\u2019s like to be a good neighbor and to give back.\u201d -Mia Vargo, Campus Director<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> It was a wonderful experience for all, and they enjoyed talking about all the great things that the Port Huron campus is doing in the community.
