Let's Do Different!

Future Leaders of Change,
Every week we attend class, we learn of the importance of leadership of all ranks, embracing change and chaos, and developing authentic communication and relationships. Through this time we have discovered what matters, and as a cohort committed to change and leadership, my friends it's time to lead--- together, as the students of PRL. In a time of constant change, with news of layoffs, lack of medical services, and stories of hunger, it's time for us to get involved. With our everyday chaos of families, jobs, and our other commitments to volunteerism---it may be seemingly hard to give more than we are already contributing, but I ask for your help even in the smallest way possible. Just as leadership can emerge from the ranks of nobility or a middle class working single mother of two, it too can arise from Carlow's Professional Leadership Department as we join together to create the change that our lives are so passionately dedicated too . As Pearce says, “we are not simply being asked to "do better" than our predecessors, we are being asked to "do different"”. PRL, let's do different. Let's do different than those before us, and stir up some movement together.
I invite you to join and help this holiday season....
Dr. Vincent Albo, a Pittsburgh oncologist-hematologist, recognized the need for a home away from home for families of sick children being treated in Pittsburgh hospitals. Thus the Ronald McDonald Carehouse was created, providing lodging for those families for an affordable price in hard situations.
Together as the PRL at Carlow University, I invite you to help donate any of these items on the Ronald McDonald (Shadyside house pictured above) wish list:

Please drop items in the collection box in the first floor lobby of CLAM.
Thank you for your time , and happy holidays to you and your families.
Let's do different.
