Gift boxes reflect home
College of Southern Maryland student Brandon Hewitt, of Mechanicsville, packs boxes for delivery to local military members serving abroad. CSM Adjunct Faculty Barbara Link organized a service learning project for her English classes which grew into an effort involving 36 students, Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s county businesses, schools, government, military and nonprofits. Volunteers filled more than 140 boxes with items that reflect the spirit of Southern Maryland, including Maryland blue crab ornaments donated by St. Mary’s resident Doro Stubbs and decorated by children from King’s Christian Academy in Callaway, and DVDs collected by students in CSM Languages and Literature Professor Carolin McManus and CSM Business, Economics & Legal Studies Professor Rex Bishop’s classes and others.
