"How fitting and appropriate that the first event of this centennial year was the Stop Hunger Now project this past Sunday. With most of our students and many faculty and staff participating, and the additional support of area churches and service organizations, we prepared 108,000 meals for the hungry of the world," said Ferrum College President Jennifer Braaten. "There can be no more exciting and visible way to express the ethos and motto of Ferrum,  'Not Self, but Others,' than by having so many working together to accomplish this goal."
