During the Fall 2015 Semester Finals Week, our chapter encouraged and
uplifted students in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences by passing out “goodie bags” to students, professors and faculty
members who were preparing for finals week. Our chapter understands the high
stress that many feel during examination week, so approximately 100 baggies
were packed with study essentials to keep students’ (and professors’) minds
sharp. The bags included treats such as granola bars, bubble gum, chocolate,
fruit snacks, and more. This was a very inexpensive activity to perform;
however the impact to our fellow students was immense and we were able to
brighten many students’ days. By being stationed directly inside the doors of
our Administration building and library, many students passed by, and even if
they did not take a bag, they often engaged in conversation about who AZP was
and thanked us for thinking of them.
