Nutrition students will participate in service learning project at Longview nursing home tomorrow

Several students studying nutrition at Kilgore College will take their expertise on the road tomorrow, hosting a family fun day for residents at Longview nursing home The Clairmont.

The students will be serving picnic-type lunches and will host activities during the event, which is set for 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 31.

Students participating this Saturday are members of adjunct faculty member Deborah Elliotts nutrition class.

This is a great way for KC students to give back to the community, said Patty Bell, Service Learning Director at KC. We are always looking for ways to give our students opportunities to create valuable learning experiences outside of the classroom.

According to Bell, the KC Service Learning Program is a teaching and learning strategy where students perform public service to benefit the community in order to achieve a courses learning objectives and fulfill personal goals.
