National Random Acts of Kindness Week!

Thank you to everyone who participated in IUPUI’s second annual celebration of National Random Acts of Kindess Week!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volunteers helped in the Campus Center by engaging their peers for the cause, while many students and faculty took a thoughtful look at the kindness they’ve been shown and considered how they themselves can make a postivie difference in someone’s life.

In fact, we are continuing the "Thank A Prof!" campaign in the Center for Service and Learning (3rd floor of Campus Center), so that if you did not get the chance to sign the poster for your favorite professor, you may still participate! Please stop by as soon as possible and "Thank A Prof!" Below are some of the responses we received from our “You were caught!” campaign, during which, people at IUPUI caught both friends and strangers in the act of kindness.
