Brain Balance assesses students with learning difficulties and behavioral issues to solve the root of their problems.

Nina and Kim Manuel were present for Blood Assurance to hand out treats to any passersby.

Other student groups including Danceline and Psi Beta were present. They each had activities for children and adults.

The lead adviser for PTK, Karen Huggin, stated that each year PTK does a yearly project around the college to give back to the community.

An example of their previous yearly projects is last year’s scholarship seminars held on multiple Georgia Highlands campuses.
