Two of the three first-year residence Faculty in the Halls, Dr. Leeanne Bell McManus (center) and Chip Rouse (right) were busy at work on Saturday, Oct. 5, flipping pancakes and serving up sausage for the first-year residents in Western Run, Susquehanna and Patapsco Halls. They were joined by nursing professor Laurel Moody (left), and Dr. Bell McManus' daughters Elouise and Bella. The Faculty in the Halls program works to build a bridge between learning and living, and the two business communication professors have been a part of the program since its inception six years ago.

Students and faculty in the Communication department at Stevenson participated in "Mustangs Make a Difference Day" on Friday, October 4, on the Quad at Owings Mills. The first-year students, as well as members of '47 House and Lambda Pi Eta, spent a sunny afternoon raising awareness for autism by handing out multicolored ribbons and puzzle pieces, and talking with other attendees. The day includes all of the First-Year Seminar classes, as well as some clubs and organizations. This campus-wide day of service for students, faculty and staff is designed to make a positive difference while furthering commitment to one of the university’s core values, that of promoting a sense of community.
