Amanda Liebrecht, a second-year pharmacy student from McComb, has been awarded a Newman Civic Fellows Award, sponsored by the KPMG Foundation, for her efforts in establishing a Sunday school program in Ada for the Catholic parish.
Liebrecht, along with several classmates, organized a Sunday school in which young children are supervised during the Sunday morning Mass service and a child-friendly lesson is provided for the children. The ONU students take turns preparing lessons for the children, which include Bible stories, a craft/project, some games, and a snack.
ONU's annual Chopsticks Night featured great food, entertainment and plasticware for those not accustomed to chopsticks.
Sponsored by the Asian American Student Union, the event drew a large crowd of hungry folks who, by and large, managed quite well with the wooden chopsticks.
We asked, "Why did you come to Chopstick Night," and got these replies:
• I love Asian food.
• My family uses chopsticks.
• I learned from an exchange student from South Korea my family hosted several years ago.
• Food tastes better using wood utensils instead of plastic or metal.
