Iona College to Host Habitat for Humanity Leadership
Training Session Nov. 23
New Rochelle, NY, November 14, 2002 - Iona College will host a Habitat for Humanity training session on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 9 am to noon in Spellman Hall on the main campus, located at 715 North Ave in New Rochelle. The training session will enable local community leaders to form Habitat for Humanity teams throughout Westchester County. "I am grateful for Iona's continued partnership with Habitat over the past ten years as it practically applies educational concepts with hammers, hearts and hands," said Jim Killoran, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Westchester. The Center for Campus Ministries at Iona provides students the opportunity to volunteer at local Habitat projects two Saturdays a month through its service-learning placement program. Their efforts have resulted in affordable housing for many low-income families of Westchester. "Fostering relationships with service organizations is an integral part of Iona's mission. Our collaboration with Habitat for Humanity demonstrates the College's commitment to maximizing service opportunities for all Iona students and members of the local community," said Dr. Alexander Eodice, dean of the School of Arts and Science. Celebrating 25 years of peace and justice education, Iona College is a private, co-educational institution of learning in the tradition of American Catholic higher education founded in 1940 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. Iona offers undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, science, and business administration, as well as Master of Arts, Master of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees and numerous post-graduate certificate programs.
