Campus Compassion

Week of Compassion and Barton College teamed up to develop a pilot program called Campus Compassion. The program's goal was to educate and inspire young adults about global conerns and needs throughout the world. Campus Compassion lived into something astonishing; resulting in student's initiating their own community wide response to Haiti, helping rebuild homes in Lake Charles, Louisiana and even participation in a medical mission to Liberia. The group ignited compassion and heart for service on Campus! Come listen, learn and exchange ideas on how to start a similar program on your campus.
