BW Habitat for Humanity Wins Official Campus Charter

BW has been accepted as an official university for Habitat for Humanity International. Heather Schier '14, who heads up BW's Habitat for Humanity group and helped lead the application process, says gaining the campus charter will allow the group to access additional tools, support and oversight that will further strengthen the BW chapter and "solidify our existence on campus."

Habitat for Humanity is an international service organization that works to help repair and build houses all over the world through volunteer work and donations. The official chapter status will also allow BW a wider selection of alternative break service locations.
