The Hastings College Vocation and Values Program will host a “One Campus, One Community” luncheon Tuesday, April 29, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Hazelrigg Student Union, Rooms A and B.

Five Hastings College students will discuss “Lives of Commitment, Making a Difference Locally and Globally,” and their work with helping others. The recipient of the annual Judy Sandeen Service Award will be presented, and students from Adams Central High School and Hastings High School will be honored for exemplary community service.

Hastings College students and the service projects they will discuss are:

Andrew Goodwin, Hastings Literacy, junior, Wesley Goodwin, Aurora, Colo.
Matthew Hildebrand, BorderLinks, senior, Michael/Connie Hilderbrand, Gothenburg, Neb.
Kelsea Jones, Food for Thought, senior, Doug/Marla Jones, Auburn, Neb.
Meggan Lloyd, Fair Trade, junior, Richard/Monica Lloyd, Hastings, Neb.
Christine Olk, Habitat for Humanity, sophomore, Michael/Judie Olk, Gretna, Neb. 

The Judy Sandeen Service Award is given annually to a student organization on campus to recognize outstanding service to the college community, local community, national community, and/or to the world community, and to provide seed money for service projects. The award is named for Judy Sandeen, retired director of health services at Hastings College. Sandeen developed a nationally recognized peer education program during her 29 years at the college.

“One Campus, One Community” luncheons are funded through the Vocation and Values Program, Lilly Endowment Inc., to encourage communication between the college and Hastings community. Approximately 120 local community leaders, campus leaders, faculty and students will be in attendance.
