MOUNT VERNON—Several Brewton-Parker College students gathered for a much appreciated display of goodwill and campus unity Saturday, Sept. 12.

Twenty-five students participated in a clean-up project sponsored by the Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM). Other organizations, including Student Government Association and the Freshmen Leadership team, joined together with BCM and worked to complete the project.

They helped BPC’s Plant Operations department clear out the front lawn and hedges around campus. In three hours, the students cleared four truckloads of debris from the landscape.

Brewton-Parker College is the only accredited four-year Christian college in south Georgia. With its main campus located in Mount Vernon, the college also offers bachelor’s and associate’s degrees at its three external sites in Newnan, Norman Park and Liberty County.

Hakeem Helmy and Kayla Ellenberger help unload the truck of the debris.
