Campus Crest Communities Supports the WSU Center for Civic Engagement

Campus Crest Communities is pleased to announce their support and donation of $5000 to the Washington State University (WSU) Center for Civic Engagement.

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) provides opportunities for WSU students, faculty, campus departments, and community partners to share knowledge, skills, and resources for the benefit of student learning and the well being of our communities. The CCE facilitates student learning and civic leadership development through engagement in community service, advocacy, political participation, public dialogue, and outreach. Established partnerships with local, regional, and national organizations provide diverse opportunities for students and faculty to create positive change in the world. In addition, civic engagement contributes to the University’s land-grant mission: to serve the needs of the people and communities of the state of Washington. In academic year 2011-12, the CCE facilitated the involvement of 8000 students and over 75,000 hours of recorded community service.

Student Leadership Development: peer mentoring and project leadership

Teams of student mentors and project leaders on the Center for Civic Engagement staff are trained to provide support, leadership and mentorship to student participants in service learning. Mentors support and advise students about their options for civic engagement while Project Leaders lead groups of students on short-term projects at a variety of community sites. This gift will support the civic development of these student leaders through training and leadership opportunities.

Service Learning Projects: taking action, solving problems

Each year, hundreds of WSU students participate in community service projects that are locally organized and implemented collaboratively by community partners and the CCE. Community-based projects are educational and involve direct, hands-on service in a wide variety of areas, from human services to environmental restoration. An area of recent growth engages WSU students in youth mentoring in after school programs to encourage persistence in school. This gift will support program development and delivery of such projects, including supplies, staffing, and transportation.

Stillwater Habitat for Humanity

When local volunteers come together, the results can be “huge” and the opportunities abound.

Those local volunteers – the Campus Crest apartment management company, Stillwater Public Schools, Oklahoma State University and North American Van Lin

es – recently collaborated on a donation effort to provide Stillwater Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore its largest donation to date.

The collaboration to help the ReStore began after a recent remodeling of what will be “The Grove” apartment complex (formerly Campus Park). As part of the work, Campus Crest donated household items from more than 135 apartments, including refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, couches, coffee tables, dining room sets and other miscellaneous items.

“We estimated the value of the donation to be well over $100,000 in ReStore value,” said Jennifer Dault, manager of Stillwater Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore.

Campus Crest’s Eighth Annual “Gobbler Giveaway”

We are pleased to announce that our eighth annual Gobbler Giveaway was a great success! This year we were able to recruit Fortegra Financial Corporation (NYSE: FRF), Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) to participate

in our eighth annual “Gobbler Giveaway” event.

Together, we partnered with 13 different charities and faith-based organizations to provide more than 1,900 turkeys to families in need this holiday season.

The annual event began shortly after Campus Crest’s inception in 2004 and is an integral part of our broad corporate social responsibility program. Over the past seven years, we have steadily ramped up its efforts to grow the initiative, resulting in the donation of approximately 4,000 turkeys to residents in communities where the company owns and operates student housing properties. This is the first year Campus Crest has enlisted the help of other businesses to grow the initiative and replicate the event in their respective communities.

The company’s first “Gobbler Giveaway” event of the year took place on Friday, November 16th at Kingdom Fellowship Christian Center located in Charlotte, NC. Campus Crest will host four additional events at the following locations:

11/20 – New Bethel Church of God in Christ

11/21 – Fellowship Christian Center
5:00pm at 136 Pee Dee Church Rd., Dillon, SC 29536

Ted Rollins, co-founder and chief executive officer of Campus Crest, and Mike Hartnett, co-founder and chief investment officer of Campus Crest, commented, “As we continue to grow, our focus remains on implementing new and existing initiatives that allow us to give back to the residents that have welcomed us into their communities. Our annual ‘Gobbler Giveaway’ continues to be one of our most successful community events and we are pleased to have respected companies like Fortegra, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, and Brandywine join us in our efforts to feed families in need this holiday season.”

Rollins will be accompanied by staff to give away turkeys at Flagg Chapel Baptist Church in Milledgeville, GA, the Fellowship Christian Center in Dillon, SC and Westside Full Gospel Baptist Church in Carrollton, GA. Hartnett along with staff was present at the Kingdom Fellowship Christian Center in Charlotte, NC to distribute turkeys.

Four hundred turkeys will be donated to Philabundance, the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organization providing emergency food and access to services to approximately 900,000 people at risk of hunger and malnutrition.

Engineers Without Borders is a national nonprofit humanitarian organization established to support community-driven development programs worldwide through partnerships that design and implement sustainable engineering projects. It has more than 100 student chapters throughout the United States.

Campus Crest recently received the 2012 ‘Green Company Executive Award’ at the twelfth annual E-3 awards ceremony hosted by Emerald Asset Management for its commitment to sustainable building practices.

The donation is part of Campus Crest’s broad corporate responsibility program. CEO Ted Rollins and the entire Campus Crest team are committed to coming up with different, creative ways to make positive social, economic and environmental impacts in the communities in which the company owns and operates student housing properties.

Campus Crest is building The Grove at Laramie to serve University of Wyoming students.

Campus Crest & The Grove Donate Blood to Help Save Lives

Campus Crest announced that through its company-wide and pro

perty-wide blood drive, it partnered with the American Red Cross, the largest single supplier of blood and blood products in the United States, and other non-profit, community blood centers where it owns and operates student housing properties to donate a total of 574 units of blood. According to the American Red Cross, one unit of blood can save up to three lives. As a result, Campus Crest’s donation can potentially help save up to 1,722 lives through the use of red cells, platelets and plasma the donated blood provides.

Ted Rollins, co-founder and chief executive officer, and Mike Hartnett, co-founder and chief investment officer of Campus Crest commented: “This initiative is a way for our organization and our student residents to join forces and contribute to an important social cause that saves lives. We are proud to partner with these dedicated suppliers and we thank everyone who donated blood in support of their service to our nation’s health care system.”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful partnership with Campus Crest Communities and the staff, students, and supporters who have given the most important gift of all…the gift of life-saving blood,” said Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, chairman of the American Red Cross. “The Red Cross relies on dedicated community sponsors like Campus Crest to fulfill its lifesaving mission. On behalf of the entire Red Cross and all of the people who are alive today because of the selfless donors who took part in this campaign, I want to say a heartfelt thank you.”

The blood drive is part of Campus Crest’s Grove Outreach Team (“GO Team”) service program that supports various charitable initiatives the company implements at its corporate office and in the communities in which it owns and operates student housing properties. The GO Team program provides student tenants and Campus Crest employees with an opportunity to contribute to social and community causes.
