On Thursday, December 13 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., Cindy Yeager's Ethics class will sell stained glass stars with the proceeds going to the class's partnership with the Noble Correctional Institution.  The stars will be located in the foyer of Arts and Sciences in Oakley 312.

The stars will be located in the foyer of Arts and Sciences in Oakley 324 with an envelope for checks. Stars are $15 (originally $18) and starbursts are $25 (originally $28.) A few vintage picture frames with stained glass images will also be for sale, priced between $20 - $40.
 
The Ethics class service partnership with Noble Correctional Institution is an eleven-year service project that has been recognized locally by the Jenco Foundation, regionally by Campus Compact and nationally by the National Conference for Community Colleges on Civic Engagement.

Inmates in this project correspond with the students in the Ethics class. The inmates participate in a program designed to rescue dogs that have been left at the local animal shelters and have not been adopted. The inmates train the dogs for basic obedience to make them more desirable to be adopted. The students contribute to the program's basic needs, such as leashes, collars, bedding, treats, toys and, recently, a portable agility course.

Cindy Yeager has presented this school's work in service learning in San Francisco, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Athens and Granville. This program has received funding from Ohio Campus Compact, Pay it Forward, Dollar General and the Jenco Foundation.
 
This September, the Ethics class was also responsible for sponsoring a month's worth of immunizations at the Athens County Dog Shelter by contributing $150 to the Friends of the Shelter.
 
"As in all service work, money is tight. Because of semesters, I have lost an Ethics class, so your help is especially needed at this time," Yeager said. Contact Cindy Yeager with any questions.
