Fairmont State University helps make the community ‘shine' with volunteer clean up event
FAIRMONT, (WBOY) — Out of love for its community, peers at Fairmont State University volunteered their time on Friday to help make the community shine. Students, faculty and staff at Fairmont State University (FSU) participated in the school's annual 'Falcons Make it Shine' event, which is a sector of the statewide 'West Virginia Make it Shine' event, where volunteers pick up trash and litter in the community. FSU's focus for the event was Locust Avenue, specifically between WVU Medicine Fairmont Medical Center, all the way to the West Side Market. WV Navigator offering help with insurance enrollment amid recent layoffs 12 News spoke with Stephanie DeGroot, FSU's director of planning and environmental stewardship and MS4 coordinator, on the importance of getting students involved with the community. 'I think it's extremely important to have the students out in the community, show that we care, that we're part of the community. Cleaning up the environment, cleaning up our local streamways. We even have some community members beep, honk, yell thank you as they go by so it's just a really good event,' said DeGroot. FSU hosts this event annually, as well as another community cleanup event in the fall for its homecoming. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
