STEP Book Drive
Central Michigan University's Student Transition Enrichment Program looks to increase the book count at the DeVos Children’s Hospital library. The program is holding a book drive for the hospital, located in Grand Rapid. The month-long drive ends Nov. 30.
STEP is asking for new or gently used books for children up to 18 years old. According to program assistant Larissa Schneidewing, homemade bookmarks for the children are also welcomed to be donated. Collection drop boxes have been set out in the University Center, Moore Hall and the Environmental Human Services and Health Professions Buildings. Scheidewing told Central Michigan Life, “DeVos is a smaller hospital that probably doesn’t receive as many donations.”
STEP, is a King-Chavez-Parks funded program at CMU that assists first generation college students and students from areas extremely deprived of an education earn a college degree. The program also links graduating students with future employers.
