Spring 2022 - 5

How does the student organization identify
service opportunities?
" Student officers are asked to locate a multitude of
service opportunities within our local community, " said
Williams. " Some of our greatest resources have been
the City of Lancaster, Adopt-A-Block, Water Street
Mission, Habitat for Humanity, & the American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. We turn to
Google sometimes, too. "
When coordinating service opportunities, Williams
reminds students to ensure they're taking care of
their own backyard. " Whether the Architecture studio,
college campus, or municipality, all are part of our
local community in which we function. When we can
support and assist our local communities, we help
foster growth at all levels. "
Juliette Forry, a second-year student and president
of the local AIAS chapter, recognizes the short- and
long-term value of time spent in the local community
- as do her classmates. " The more projects we can do,
the more people we can help - and they help us grasp
a greater understanding of the technical world we live
in, " said Forry.
One of the most memorable community experiences
Forry has had thus far was during a clean-up at
Culliton Park in Lancaster City. " Towards the end of
our clean-up, a bunch of local businesses came and
set up different activities, games, food, and music, "
she said. " It was just a really great time working with
others and having fun. "
Williams reminds students about the importance of
playing an active role within the local and regional
community, and makes it clear that helping others
is an important part of becoming a model citizen.
" It is our hope that each student will recognize the
importance of Paying It Forward as they continue with
their community service efforts. If they want to see
change in the world, they must lead by example. "
We asked Forry why being active in the
community is important. Her answer?
" Because people are important. "
We're inspired by our students and faculty, and proud
to call Lancaster City home.
