Eleven first-year students and three student leaders participated in the Habitat Fresh X program in mid August. During their four-day trip, they joined volunteers from other organizations and helped build two homes in northeastern Ohio for Portage County Habitat for Humanity. OWU’s optional Fresh X programs, held just prior to the start of school, provide new students with opportunities to get to know others before arriving on campus.
