Students ‘paws’ to destress

A relatively new housing initiative, the Black and Latinx Living and Learning Communities, has launched at the University of La Verne.

National CORE, a nonprofit affordable housing developer, is leading a permanent supportive housing project, 740 Foothill Community, in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County between the cities of San Dimas and La Verne. Both cities are opposed to the project.

Members from Housing and Residence Life, students and resident assistants joined together at the Vista La Verne Lounge on April 26. They wrote thank you cards and created goodie bags for the cleaning crew, Resident Advisors and Residence Life Coordinators.

The University of La Verne’s Office of Civic and Community Engagement as well as the La Verne Ocean Movement Club partnered up with the Peace and Carrots Community Garden for a day filled with reducing, reusing, and recycling, Saturday morning.
