Hello Cambridge College Students,
We hope your classes are going well!
This week we are proud to highlight the work of Cambridge College’s Student Council (CCSC). In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that hit parts of Turkey and Syria last month, the Student Council quickly organized an effort to help raise awareness about and donations for the people affected by this tragedy. Several student council members also personally contributed to earthquake relief efforts. Our hearts go out to the victims of these earthquakes and to all members of the Cambridge College community who were affected by this disaster. If you would like to learn more about these efforts, please see the attached CCSC newsletter. If you would like to join the Student Council, you can reach out to Abhinav Yadav at abhinav.yadav10@go.cambridgecollege.edu.
If you have time, please come join us for one of our workshops this week!
