In a press release sent by the university, Mayor Dawn Zimmer is quoted as thanking the students.
“From parks cleanups, to helping prepare for Hurricane Irene, to class projects focused on solving our infrastructure challenges, the Stevens community has done so much to give back to our City,” the Mayor said.
