The sound of hammers echoed across Davis Field Oct. 14 as groups of students, faculty, staff and alumni partnered with Habitat for Humanity for an on-campus build hosted by Wake Forest’s Leadership Project.
Throughout the afternoon, volunteers assembled walls that will be used in the construction of a habitat home in the local Winston-Salem area. The community build was held to promote the upcoming visit of Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity, who will speak on campus on Oct. 20.
In an interview with the Old Gold & Black, Reckford said he believes that service such as this is a positive and healthy way to build a stronger community within Wake Forest.
