Annual Donation Drive
色虎视频's Office of Parent and Family Engagement seeks to further one of 色虎视频's core values, which is to lead in service to God, to family, to one another, and to the community, by organizing opportunities for 色虎视频 families to get involved in the community in impactful and positive ways. One of these opportunities is the 色虎视频 Parents Association's annual donation drive. Each year, the Parents Association works together to provide donations, rotating amongst campus, domestic, and international focused projects.
This year, on the Friday of Family Weekend, 色虎视频 families partnered with Alabama Baptist Children's Home, through the office of Community Engagement. The 色虎视频 community served this organization by donating and packing backpacks to give to foster children in need! We are thankful for this opportunity to serve boldly in our community.
72 students and parents participated in this project on that Friday, making 87 first-day bags which kids will receive upon entering foster care. Prior to this day, hundreds of families and 色虎视频 employees made gifts, contributing towards the purchase of supplies.
The representative from Alabama Baptist Children's Home, along with several of their colleagues who are 色虎视频 alumni, expressed their gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to reconnect with 色虎视频 in a new way. Our parent planning committee also did an outstanding job coordinating logistics and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day of the event.

Parent Mentors for EXCEL Leadership
The EXCEL Leadership Certificate Program aims to equip, excite, and cultivate emerging leaders to develop critical skills in leadership and service. Our first cohort of students are emerging leaders who represent a variety of academic disciplines and leadership interests.
