Student Reactions
“I will take away a great experience from this course, and I am happy to have become
friends with the members of our small class. I think this project effectively personalized our class with the community of the South Side and made us more aware of the people that
live there and the concerns of their community.”

Student Reactions
“I’ve learned a lot about the South Side and Pittsburgh communities in the past few months. I feel more connected to
this area than ever before. It was tough to feel this way being from out of state
and unfamiliar with the area.”

Student Reactions
“As I look back on this class five years from now, I think I will remember what a great
impact we were able to have on the community around us. I never realized how willing people were to help others out. The community was very willing to donate their
time and money to our project.”
