“WE SERVE”

“Because of my service, I am a more positive person to be around. Every time I serve, I leave with a feeling of fulfillment and accomplishment. My service helps me relieve the stresses of college and life by going out and forgetting about myself for a while and focusing on helping others.”

4 STUDENT & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

A Learning CommunityThe ECHOSTARS attend many of the same classes together, such as Psychology and Freshmen Orientation, as part of their learning community. Even if students follow another learning community path because of their major, they can still participate in the ECHOSTARS program. Many ECHOSTARS major in education and social work, and their service offers them the necessary experience to excel in their field of study. ECHOSTARS excel academically; over 20 percent of ECHOSTARS make the Dean’s List (3.4 or higher).

A Living CommunityEach year 65 freshmen and five team leaders serve as ECHOSTARS! This living community resides exclusively in Gray Hall, a modern and well-appointed housing option. Even the resident assistants are former ECHOSTARS, so that individuals who are committed to serving others surround incoming freshmen. Together, the ECHOSTARS socialize and encourage one another in their college experience.

A Serving CommunityThe ECHOSTARS/Rising STARS are students who are committed to making a change in their community in a variety of ways. Each week, they assist with after-school programs at local elementary schools as well as the YMCA and the Salvation Army. As part of our service program, the ECHOSTARS/Rising STARS receive transportation to all of the service sites and special projects. In addition, they assist with academic enrichment through the Read to Succeed program, offered at Frostburg State University to local children. The ECHOSTARS/Rising STARS provide the academic and social mentoring that these students need to succeed at school and in their personal lives. They not only grow in their understanding of their school subjects, but they also learn about healthy lifestyles, recreation and friendships. As part of a growing student service movement, the ECHOSTARS/Rising STARS serve more than 15,000 hours each year, providing a valuable resource to the local community.

ECHOSTARS / Rising STARSThe ECHOSTARS/Rising STARS AmeriCorps Program is a living-learning-serving experience for students committed to making a change in their communities. ECHOSTARS are a part of a growing student service movement. Members participate in learning communities, academic enrichment programs, community outreach, environmental stewardship and other identified community initiatives. Members who successfully complete 300 hours of service will receive an education award of $1,195 with the potential to earn a $500 housing credit for the following year. Transportation is provided to all service sites for students. Contact the National Service Coordinator Beth Bair at btbair@frostburg.edu or 301.687.4210 if you have any further questions.

COLLABORATIONSOn the EdgeUniversity Programming Council and CES are combining their event skills to bring a new and exciting “underground club” series starting in the Fall of 2015. Each month, “On the Edge” presents collaborative arts programming that offers “cutting edge” performances to appeal to students and community and provide a venue that builds student and community interaction through the arts. The Manicur Assembly Hall will be converted into a back-ally club hangout with a relaxed atmosphere featuring general admission informal table seating mixed with relaxed sofa seating. After each performance, the living room areas will be transitioned into the “After Room” and offer an informal area to grab a cup of coffee, socialize and hang as well as discuss what just happened on the stage. Admission to “On The Edge” includes a variety of food and beverage options during the show as well as in the “After Room.” Performers will be artists who are testing the definitions of their field with their content or presentation mode and will include def poets, a mixture of music genres, comedy, drama, and dance.
