About the Circle

The Golden Crest Circle focuses on at least one service event in each fall and spring semester. For the past few years, the fall event has been coordinated with the One Warm Coat project (http://onewarmcoat.org/) and clothing has been donated to Bright Futures- Joplin (http://brightfuturesjoplin.org/). In the spring, our Circle co-sponsors, along with the MSSU Student Affairs Office, the Glenn Dolence Leadership-Service awards, named after a founding member of our circle and former Vice President for Student Services.
