My name is Debra
Miller, and I am a sophomore at Valparaiso University. This semester I am taking Professor
Buinicki’s English 396 course titled Traditions
of Giving and Serving in America. This
course is unlike any other English class that I have taken before. Like a traditional English class, we read a
variety of novels and essays, but these readings supplement a very special
component to this course; thanks to the Learning by Giving foundation, at the
end of the semester, our class is able to donate $5,000 to a Porter County charity
of our choice!
Of course
getting 17 college students of varying ages and backgrounds to agree on a
charity is no easy task, especially when the pool of charities from which we
are choosing is compiled of so any deserving causes. That is why we have started this blog- to
document the interesting, extensive process of researching, selecting a
charity, and rewarding the grant. This
blog will embody the thoughts and experiences of the students taking this
unique course. I am so excited to
continue with this giving process, and I can not wait to read what the rest of
my classmates write about!
