Community Involvement
Metropolitan Campus staff and faculty were involved in a variety of community-service activities recently. These included putting up trusses on three different houses in Jordon Commons, a subdivision of Miami, Fla., which is the second largest Habitat for Humanity project in the country; erecting a Welcome to Teaneck, home of Fairleigh Dickinson University, sign on Route 4; donating a laptop, PowerPoint projector and blocks of tickets to FDU sporting events to the Teaneck police as part of its project combating gang crime; having international students introduce their countries and cultures to grammar school students; helping to organize a clean up of the Hackensack River as part of the Service Learning and Management class of Kent Fairfield, management (Metro); and collecting grains of rice for the United Nations World Food Programme. The Business Leaders of Tomorrow student group put up seven laptop computers at the Student Union Building to encourage students, faculty, staff and the Teaneck community to try their hands at FreeRice.com’s vocabulary game — every correct answer resulted in a donation of 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Programme. More than 400,000 grains (equivalent to 400 bowls of rice were raised.
