Two Bard Students Win COV-AID Student Engagement Award
Keyvious Avery and Aidan Galloway have been working on a project called, "THRIVE ON! Kingston", aimed at providing Kingston's homeless population with the tools to both survive and thrive COVID-19. They formed the initiative after realizing they were fortunate enough to have 4 walls to quarantine in, while others did not. Tools include locally, hand-made face masks, blankets, socks, water bottles, and more. Click here to view their full campaign. Started in Peter Klein's Hudson Valley Environmental (In)Justice Course, Keyvious and Aidan raised over $4,000.
"I share this exciting news to assure you that no matter the circumstance, diligence, passion, and focus leads to perseverance. We are all capable of achieving monumental things. Let this be a testament to that." ~ Keyvious Avery
