Rick Hurley’s op-ed on the University of Mary Washington and service among the student population.

ON THURSDAY, scores of students, faculty, and staff at the University of Mary Washington will join me on Ball Circle on the Fredericksburg campus for a special project. We will pick up hammers and drills to erect a storage shed that will be moved to a Habitat for Humanity home built for a low-income family in the Fredericksburg area. We also will cobble together nearly a dozen picnic tables that Habitat for Humanity will sell in its ReStore to help fund its remarkable home construction initiative.
