Malvina Farkle Day
Malvina Farkle Day - which is
named after mythical college student and employee who was dedicated
to community
service and good times - includes a morning of community service
activities and a afternoon of fun games, give-aways, and the
traditional mudpit.
Students are never told when Malvina Farkle Day is until the
morning of the event when they are awakened with sirens from
Adair County's fire and police department not to mention RA's with
bullhorns! Classes are cancelled for the day and the kick-off
breakfast, along with Susan Minton's vocal
stylings, starts the day of service.
Students scatter across campus and Adair County to volunteer
their services. Groups in the past have volunteered their time
with: Green River Animal Shelter, Adair County Board of Education,
Summit Manor Nursing Home, Lake Cumberland Area Headstart and many
more organizations.
Reconvening on the Quad for lunch, students, faculty and staff
enjoy a cookout provided by the Cranmer Dining Center.
Students are given a chance to win TVs, computers, DVD players, and
other prizes. Finally the day completes with a run through the
mudpit!
