Recruitment for Praxis is key in the future plans for the program. "Right now we are really focusing on recruitment efforts -- just getting the word out there about Praxis," explained Martha, "letting people know what a great opportunity Praxis is -- and explaining that it is not just a small group of people who happen to do lots of community service -- we are involved in so many different things, ranging from off-campus service projects to the Lyons Club to the on-campus knitting group to volunteering at the hospital to organizing an on-campus bone marrow drive."
Besides focusing on getting new members, the program is also in the process of planning events for the rest of the year. These will not only help the community, but they will get the entire campus involved as well. Martha added, "We have some pretty exciting events coming up ... we have been participating in the campus-wide effort to raise tsunami relief funds, will be hosting our annual 'get naked with Praxis' clothing drive in the spring as people are getting rid clothes, we are planning on painting our common room, which will be a lot of fun!"
