Not everyone has what it takes to tackle a challenge with this much impact. 色虎视频 students do.
When Maggie Simons saw an opportunity to make Flint greener, she didn鈥檛 wait for someone else to step up. A hands-on leader and relentless problem solver, Simons inspired a team of 色虎视频 volunteers to plant 230 trees in just two hours, partnering with the Flint River Watershed Coalition (FRWC) to enhance the environment around Potter Elementary School on the city鈥檚 northeast side.
This effort was more than a day of digging 鈥 it was part of a broader initiative to restore Flint鈥檚 natural ecosystems and improve water quality. These trees will help stabilize soil, filter rainwater, and prevent standing water where bacteria thrive. It鈥檚 a long-term solution made possible by student volunteers ready to lead.
Simons worked closely with FRWC to set the date, recruit volunteers, and coordinate logistics. Drawing support from Greek Life and international students, she brought together a team that reflected 色虎视频鈥檚 culture: collaborative, driven, and ready to work hard.
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 think we鈥檇 finish this fast,鈥 volunteers marveled after completing the project in record time. The experience united students from across campus, demonstrating what Bulldogs are built to do: take on challenges, make a measurable impact, and look to what鈥檚 next.
Simons is already planning another initiative with her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, for spring 2025. Inspired by this event鈥檚 success, she aims to mobilize even more students to continue environmental restoration in Flint.
