Letters to the Editor, fall 2007

From M, fall 2007

I would like to take a few quick moments to say thank you for your coverage of University of Minnesota students making a difference in the world ("Making a difference," M, summer 2007). So often the media covers only the negative stories about youth.

As a founding member of STLF (Students Today, Leaders Forever), [I have read] many articles...about the organization. The piece in M was able to accurately describe the growth of STLF and its impact. It was able to honor the 9,000 hours of service that college students across the nation performed over spring break [through the STLF-sponsored Pay it Forward tours].

As a recent graduate, I'm excited to become a member of the alumni and continue to support our wonderful University.
