Community/Campus Advisory Coalition (CCAC) June 2, 2009 Meeting Minutes Page 6 students about recycling. It was suggested that an email might be more effective, or possibly posting information on the new website. OTHER COMMENTS OLD TO GOLD Ann Puzzello commented that she attended the "Old to Gold" sale at Notre Dame and thought is was a great idea. Students donated household items to the sale that might otherwise have been thrown out. Brian Coughlin said the sale raised $54,000.00 to fund charitable work. HOLY CROSS Dan Cochran, Holy Cross representative, is interested in learning more about the Notre Dame list serve. IUSB Jeff Jones from IUSB said they have just completed the first year of on campus housing. Around 320 students lived on campus this school year and it was a learning experience for everyone. Mr. Jones said there are some safety concerns, but IU Police are working with South Bend Police to resolve those issues. Because IUSB is located in a neighborhood setting, they are doing everything they can to be good neighbors. OFF CAMPUS WEBSITE Mr. Nussbaum suggested that students interested in offering services to the neighborhood residents, i.e. babysitting, tutoring or handy man work, might post that on the website. This could be a good place to cement relationships with the neighborhood. NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIONSHIPS Mr. Nussbaum also said that Notre Dame has done a great job building relationships with the Northeast neighborhoods, but he has heard comments that nothing is being done in other areas of the City. In fact, Notre Dame students and faculty regularly contribute their time and talents to the City, but even Notre Dame doesn't know how much time or where all of the contributions are made. Mr. Caponigro said that the Robinson Center is working on a report detailing how many hours are donated by students and faculty. He recalled that some 400,000 hours have been donated.
