#WPULUVSDIVERSITY
When the concept of diversity comes up here at William Peace University, a prime example is this year's alternative fall break trip to Appalachia Service Project in Jonesville, VA.
We took a group of kids from a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds and interests to experience the ostensibly foreign lands of Appalachia first hand. Most, if not all, the kids going had never been to a place like Jonesville, much less interacted with people like those we would meet.
However, their maturity and genuine interest in understanding their surroundings were second to none. Our varied perspectives allowed us all to see a part of the world differently than we had ever before. Stories were shared, connections were made, and stereotypes fell away.
As our Pacers shared insights into what they saw, it was easy to fully appreciate each of the different lenses being used to view their experiences. At the end of the day, it was a great joy to watch Peace students learn that no matter their reasoning, or approach, we were all there struggling, sweating, and working toward the common goal of helping those in need.

Service Spotlight: Maiah Overton
Being from Washington, D.C. at a young age children are exposed to harsh realities of society, requiring many to mature at an early age. For me, I took on responsibilities of caring for my younger siblings while my mother was at work. Doing so left me no time for extracurricular activities like community service. My senior year in high school, I was finally able to get involved more with community events and senior activities. My first community service project involved building a playground for unprivileged kids. Coming to Peace, I did not know what my involvement on campus and off campus would look like. I had no idea it would be what it is now. Outside of the work I do with PACT, I ensure organizations I am a part of complete at least one event every year helps within the Raleigh community somehow, big or small. Thankfully, at WPU I am not limited to a certain type of community service or ways of helping. I am convicted in order for us to become a better world, we have to be willing to go out of our way to help those in needs, anywhere and in anywayTuesday, January 30, 2018
