#BackPorchProject

Maryville College’s facilities have been closed to the public since March 19; however, about two dozen students remain on campus – including international students who cannot return to their home countries due to current travel restrictions. The #BackPorchProject was created as an effort to do something special for those students, as well as MC’s essential employees who are working on campus and local hospital employees who are staying in the residence halls. Read more about the project!
