Students, Staff Tackle Damage, Debris
Students branch out; workers begin building repairs
August 24, 2007

More than 150 fall sports athletes and coaches, along with College staff and outside contractors, swept across campus Friday morning to clean debris and repair damage from Thursday's windstorm. After working on campus, the students helped the City of Galesburg clean up fallen limbs in nearby Standish Park. The following Monday, August 27, the women's golf team helped clean Soangetaha golf course in Galesburg, where they practice and host meets.
