Campus Corps Kick-off

Campus Corps members have officially kicked-off their year of service with the Building Engaged Citizens Conference in Butte, September 26-28. New and returning members were officially sworn in by reciting the AmeriCorps pledge, which was lead by Paul Babb, CEO of Butte-Silverbow county.

Members took their oath on the evening of the 27th, after having participated in a service project for the National Day of Action. For the service project, Campus Corps members joined forces with MTCC VISTAs to clean up the Butte Rescue Mission. All at the rescue mission were focused on "getting things done", which was the promise they made later that evening.

This year's Campus Corps teams are lead by Liz at MSU-Bozeman, Megan at MSU-Billings, Ruth at Fort Peck Community College, JJ at Flathead Valley Community College, Christie at Blackfeet Community College, Roe at University of Montana and returning leaders Sue at MSU-Northern and Heather at Montana Tech.

All are looking forward to a great year with Campus Corps, and members from across the state will convene once more a few months from now for the Spring Summit.
