McGovern kicked off the UVSC Inaugural Dialogues on Peace and Justice last Wednesday in the Ragan Theater. .

McGovern, who was the presidential candidate opposite Richard Nixon in 1972, has visited over 1,000 college campuses in the United States spreading awareness and provoking action in order to fight national and global hunger. He hopes there are young people at UVSC who are thinking about public service as a lifetime career. William Cobb, Dean of the School of HASS. hopes students will take a more active roll in figuring out how they can help in the fight against hunger versus sitting in a classroom and simply taking notes about hunger issues.

Students asked to "give of the green" Jon Long News Writer Last week UVSC's Alumni and Alumni Association sponsored their first annual "Giving of the Green." The campaign is a new direction the department is taking to help raise money for scholarships for UVSC students.

The project "Giving of the Green" is planned to be held annually, and will likely continue to fall on or around St. Patrick's Day, in the spirit of green. Since this is the department's first try at this approach to raising money from students for students, Allphin said she had no basis to compare the outcome to, but said she would be happy if they just raise a $1000. The project is partnered with the UVSC Foundation Board who has agreed to match every dollar that "Giving of the Green" raises.
