Bucks Students Make A Difference At Inaugural Bucks Student Day of Service

 In a heartwarming display of community spirit and service, 26 Bucks County Community College (BCCC) students took time out of their busy schedules to give back to the local community during the College’s inaugural Bucks Student Day of Service on Friday, November 22. These dedicated students enthusiastically volunteered their time and energy to support a variety of local organizations in and around Bucks County. The event exemplified the College’s ongoing commitment to fostering civic engagement, social responsibility, and a strong sense of community. The participating students lent a hand at five community organizations: A Women's Place, Doylestown, Pa. – Volunteers helped organize essential items for women and children in need, supporting this vital local resource for survivors of domestic abuse. Caring for Friends, Northeast Philadelphia, Pa. – Students sorted donations and packed meals for individuals experiencing food insecurity, ensuring that local families could have a nourishing meal. Christ’s Home, Warminster, Pa. – Volunteers helped prepare for the holidays by organizing decorations and spreading joy by visiting with elderly residents, offering companionship and warmth. Habitat for Humanity, Croydon, Pa. – At this home-building project, students worked to rehab a house, contributing to Habitat’s mission of providing affordable housing for families in need. Reach Out Foundation, Penndel, Pa. – Students served a Thanksgiving meal to individuals who are less fortunate, helping to make the holiday season a little brighter for those in need. Many of the students involved in the Bucks Student Day of Service are also highly engaged on campus, participating in a wide range of student clubs, organizations, and leadership activities. Despite their already packed schedules, including coursework and part-time jobs, these students took time out of their day to make a meaningful impact in their community prior to Thanksgiving week. "Seeing our students take time to give back to the community is truly inspiring," said Director of Student Engagement & Leadership Development Chris Seifert. "This day of service is just one example of how our students embody the spirit of compassion and responsibility, and we’re proud to see them making a positive impact in Bucks County." The Bucks Student Day of Service was organized by the College’s Office of Student Life, with support from various campus clubs and organizations. It highlights the importance of not only academic success but also social responsibility, demonstrating that even in the busiest of times, giving back to others is a priority for these passionate and driven students. "This experience was truly unforgettable. I had never volunteered at a care home before, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the moment I walked in, I could feel the warmth and kindness from everyone there," said Whitney Morine, BCCC student volunteer who visited with resident of Christ’s Home in Warminster, Pa. "The people who live and work in the care home have such a genuine, caring spirit, and it made me want to stay and be a part of the community." BCCC’s inaugural Bucks Student Day of Service was a resounding success, with students not only making a tangible difference in the lives of those they helped but also strengthening the bonds between the College and the local community. The College plans to organize more of these events as well as provide opportunities for students to volunteer year-round.

2024 Short Fiction Contest Winners

Bucks County Short Fiction Contest Announces Winners

 The Bucks County Short Fiction Contest is pleased to announce the 2024 winners. Marc Elias Keller of Yardley won first place for his story, “The Heart that Matters More.” Linda Lindahl, also of Yardley, captured second place for “Red Pepper Flakes.” David Jarret, of Doylestown, took third place for “A Night in the Box Elder.” C.J. Spataro, who directs the MFA program at Rosemont College, and whose novel More Strange Than True was released by Sagging Meniscus Press last June, was the final judge. A celebration was held on Saturday, November 9 in Tyler Hall on Bucks County Community College’s Newtown Campus. During the event, the winners read from their stories. Spataro also discussed her writing life. Of Keller’s first-place story, Spataro noted, “Other than the very skillful writing in this story, the thing that impressed me the most was the lack of sentimentality. Given the profession of the main character, it would be very easy to give into extraneous emotion, but that doesn't happen here... we have a main character that is not always the most likeable or sympathetic and yet, through some very skillful character development, the reader comes to understand the reasons behind her detached nature and the choices that she's made.” “Red Pepper Flakes” was cited because “I found myself rooting for Dottie from the first paragraph. She is that middle-aged mom that is invisible to and underestimated by nearly everyone around her. When she decides to fulfill a lifetime dream and hike the Grand Canyon, everyone but her elderly mother tells her not to even attempt it. Thankfully for us, Dottie ignores their advice and strikes out on her own.” Of Jarret’s story, Spataro commented: “Two grieving characters come together in the most unlikely of circumstances in this thoughtful and poignant story. I could easily see this as the start of a novel that follows the trajectory of Fink and Charles as they get to know each other and discover the pitfalls and pleasures of second love.” The contest is open to adults who are residents of Bucks County. The winners received honoraria of $200, $100, and $50, respectively. The contest is funded by Bucks County Community College, and receives support from the Department of Language and Literature. Professor Elizabeth Luciano is the contest administrator. A contest for high-school students will be held next spring.
