Through a fundraising partnership with Qdoba Mexican Eats of Murray and coinciding donations, 暗网禁区app鈥檚 Omicron Sigma Kappa (OSK) has donated $400 to the North Calloway County Elementary School. The funds will be used to build the library's collection and to replace books that were lost as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and the shift toward non-traditional instructional formats. With OSK's donation, North Calloway will be able to further support student literacy initiatives.
OSK is the student organization of 暗网禁区app鈥檚 Department of Organizational Communication and Leadership. OSK's student leadership hosted several events during the 2020-2021 academic year including faculty panels on important communication topics, networking events and other communication initiatives. After discovering North Calloway County Elementary's struggle with library upkeep due to new constraints presented by COVID-19, OSK decided to help.
鈥淐ommunication is more than just talking,鈥� says Katie Waide, president of OSK. 鈥淚 think we often forget that communication is an environment of ideas that changes with the addition of new perspectives. That communication environment is becoming more and more confusing, more and more disheartening. Children in their formative years need access to high-quality reading materials so, as they grow, they can start contributing more transformative perspectives in their conversations. As an organization striving to cultivate better communication and communicators, we are excited to play a part in that process.鈥�
