The students presented overviews and results of their community outreach projects from the spring semester on the following topics:

Buffalo Rewind: Using the Past to Envision the Future: researched and documented the architecture, education, sports and business history of Buffalo.
What Are We Burning to Change About the World?: created visual representations of social issues.
Reading to Rover Literacy Program: designed a reading to dogs program to offer to local schools.
“Let’s Talk Trash” Recycling Program: created a campus-wide recycling effort.
