Mount Mercy freshmen learn about service

Twenty-six Mount Mercy freshmen came to Prairiewoods on Tuesday, August 24, to learn about service. These students arrived on campus on Sunday, had orientation on Monday, and on Tuesday they were at Prairiewoods to learn about the importance of service in their lives. Staffers Emy Sautter and Cliff Schueler and volunteer Joyce Hanson supervised as the 18-year-olds mulched fruit trees, got rid of invasive plants in the prairie, and tidied up our trail system. We were impressed with what they did in a short amount of time. If this morning service project is typical of incoming college students, we are all in for a treat!
