Last Thursday, the Missouri S&T History Club wrapped up its annual service project by sending six cases of books overseas to American soldiers. The books will be distributed to US troops serving in Iraq. According to Dr. Ahmad, the faculty advisor for the club, “the idea [to send books to American soldiers] just sort of came up at a meeting.” “And Debra Wielms in Engineering Management had a name of a soldier in Iraq,” Dr. Ahmad added. With the help of professors and faculty in the History & Political Science department and the Engineering Management department, the club began collecting books. Eventually the students collected hundreds of books spanning a wide range of genres. Dr. Ahmad expanded on this saying “there were westerns, spy novels, romance novels, history books, war books, political science, etc., etc.” Several members of the History Club are veterans who have served overseas in Iraq and understand what the conditions are like over there. Missouri S&T’s History Club deserves our appreciation and gratitude for its excellent example of service. Dr. Ahmad concluded, saying that “the next meeting of the History Club will be at our end of the year celebration on Friday, May 2, noon at the Havener Center.” |
