Manchester College
students give time,
almost $4,500 to
community’s youth
NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. – Students in Manchester College’s Accounting
and Business Case Studies class put their calculators to the test in a
non-for-profit business, O’Chet.
The class-run organization spent spring semester marketing and
selling discount cards, cookie mixes and cleverly worded T-shirts.
Students also contributed 463 volunteer hours to the youth of North
Manchester – serving at The Firehouse youth events site, providing
tutoring services, creating a website for the Learn More Center and
providing an after-school activities day at the elementary school.
A total of $4,449, all of O’Chet’s proceeds, was donated to The
Firehouse in North Manchester. The case studies class is taught by
Associate Professor Timothy A. Ogden.
Manchester is a college of the Church of the Brethren, with an
emphasis on service learning. This year,
708 members of the college community gave more than 11,100
hours of volunteer service. For more about Manchester College, visit the
