When transitioning to college, students can feel lost and it can be difficult to find a niche.
A new organization on campus called F.A.M.I.L.Y., which stands for "Forget about me, I love you," was created to make sure even when students are away from home, they can still be a part of a family.
F.A.M.I.L.Y.’s mission is to cultivate relationships through people of different races.
Members of the organization have served the community by mentoring inner-Detroit elementary school students, held a community wide baby shower for women in the greater Lansing area and created a spa day for cancer patients from Sparrow Hospital.
“Once you reach the point where you can give back and you actually act upon it, it’s a feeling like no other," Kevin Nichols, elementary education and human development and family services sophomore said. "It is like one of the best feelings you can have."
Food industry management senior Sherria Hamilton said she knows what it feels like to go without and not to have.
“I’m giving them something to believe in, most importantly I’m giving them love, Hamilton said.
