TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- As part of Capstone Creed Week at The University of Alabama, the Community Service Center is sponsoring a Habitat for Humanity Women Build project Thursday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Ferguson Center Plaza.

In the Women Build program, sponsored by Lowe’s, UA students will build a playhouse that will be put on display at Lowe’s until Nov. 19 and later sold to benefit WB. The Habitat for Humanity Women Build program promotes the involvement of women in the construction of Habitat houses. Women crews have already built more than 650 Habitat for Humanity houses within the U.S. and are now building in more than a dozen other countries.

This project and others are a part of Capstone Creed Week, designed to encourage civic responsibility, an attribute listed in the Capstone Creed, and to help foster civic engagement and responsibility among UA students. Capstone Creed Week is a program of the UA Division of Student Affairs.

The Community Service Center is a UA sponsored program that engages students and faculty in community-based learning through service. The Center serves the campus by linking students to service through both curricular and non-curricular experience, assisting faculty with strategies for connecting services to curriculum and building partnerships with the community.
