SFA Umbrella Donation

Embodying Stephen F. Austin State University’s honor code, Dr. Adam Peck, SFA’s dean of student affairs, along with SFA student affairs staff members and Generation Jacks Program members, recently donated umbrellas to the Emeline Carpenter Elementary School in Nacogdoches.

Many of the elementary school’s classrooms exit directly to the outdoors with only small awnings to protect the students from the elements. Sharitta Williams, a former SFA student leader and now elementary school employee, reached out to Peck for his assistance. SFA student affairs staff members and Generation Jacks Program members raised funds to purchase 20 small umbrellas to donate. Esther Campbell, manager of the Barnes & Noble bookstore at SFA, also worked to have large golf umbrellas made for the elementary school. The bookstore also covered the price difference.
