Cooley Faculty and Staff Participate in "Day of Caring"

On the morning of September 9, seven faculty and staff members of the GR campus donned old clothes and grabbed their paintbrushes as they participated in the United Way Campaign’s “Day of Caring.” The Day of Caring is an opportunity for community volunteers to help a local agency and see how the dollars they donate to United Way are used. Faculty and staff helped paint an exterior wall of the Mel Trotter Ministries, a local homeless shelter just to the south of the GR Campus, which Cooley will be working closely with in our Clinical Program.

Participating in the Day of Caring is a new experience for Thomas Cooley. However, the GR campus already has an impressive history of helping the local community. Students, faculty, and staff have made donations to food drives for a local soup kitchen, volunteered at the “Soup’s On” fundraiser, and built homes for Habitat for Humanity.

Cooley Law School was one of 38 employers that participated in Day of Caring activities throughout Grand Rapids. Cooley was the only educational institution and one of two in the legal profession (Varnum Riddering law firm also participated). Volunteers saved local nonprofit agencies $65,000 in costs and materials during the Day of Caring.

Cooley employees participating in the “Day of Caring” were: Associate Dean Lynn Branham, Professor Dena Marks, Professor John Marks, Professor Nelson Miller, Library Head of Public Services Aletha Honsowitz, Library Head of Circulation Kori Kasara, and Library Circulation Team Leader Karly Savara.
