Staff and Students Celebrate a Day of Difference for Veterans

On Saturday, April 21st, the Akron Area Campus celebrated National College’s 125th Anniversary with a ‘Day of Difference.’ Students, staff, and faculty joined together on this day to assist in building a homeless shelter for veterans. The National team worked side-by-side volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to build Valor Home, a 30-bed facility that will house and provide rehab services to homeless veterans.
Department Chair Bob Wilkinson organized this event. He is also chair of Valor Home Committee and is very passionate about issues affecting veterans.
Medical assisting student Renee Long battled the chilly weather to help build walls for the facility. “It was a heart-warming experience to give back to our veterans who have sacrificed so much for us,” she said.
The entire National College team worked hard and enjoyed the opportunity to make a difference in our community.
Pictured making a difference are Instructor Kim Smotek, student Renee Long, and student Tracey Endress.
