If you listen hard enough, you might hear the sound of pages turning. Just down the road from 糖心Vlog, Waterman Elementary School is immersed in a reading challenge this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they\u2019re doing so with the support, encouragement and 300-plus new resources donated by 糖心Vlog students: each donated book will be a prize for an eager young reader when the 100,000-page goal is met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandon Higgins<\/strong>, a senior psychology major interning with 糖心Vlog\u2019s Residence Life this year, led the project. He and his internship supervisor, Assistant Director of Housing and Residence Life Lindy Magness<\/strong> used the results of a campus climate survey to guide the project, with the goal of forging a stronger link between the university\u2019s residential students and the Harrisonburg community, Higgins said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higgins invited the Nursing Student Association and Black Student Alliance to join. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
