(Each Monday during the academic year, I feature a "Campus Highlight": a unique, interesting, and noteworthy student organization, program, or initiative that demonstrates the amazing things college students do each and every day across the country.)
For the first Campus Highlight of the 2011-2012 academic year, I'm featuring the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) on Campus's first official chapter at the University of South Carolina (Columbia, SC). AFA on Campus "caters exclusively to students at colleges and universities across the country in an effort to engage them in awareness-raising activities and to groom tomorrow's leaders in the Alzheimer's community."
The AFA on Campus at the University of South Carolina was started by Elizabeth Owens of North Wales, PA after she lost her grandfather to Alzheimer's disease. What a wonderful way to honor her grandfather, raise awareness, and help engage her college community on an important issue. Keep up the great work, Ms. Owens!
