UCA Honors College student Jordyn Haught recently agreed to live for three days within a tastefully prepared cardboard house inside the lobby of Farris Hall as part of a canned food drive organized by her suitemate and fellow Honors College student Felecia Cagle.
Students, staff, and faculty members were encouraged to keep Haught in the house by donating the food items, and donations also were required to visit Haught in her “yard.” Some faculty members moved Haught’s Honors classes into the lobby to highlight the importance of the food drive. The faculty sponsors of the project were Honors instructors Phil Frana and Cindy Lea.
Through this unique food drive, 484 cans of food were donated to the Little Rock Compassion Center. Since December 2005, Cagle and Haught have donated the equivalent of 1382 canned food items to various non-profit food banks in Conway and Little Rock.
