First day of classes for Spring 2010!
Did you not have enough money for lunch today? Some people were given help on campus today. Groups of people being kind could be found thanks to K-State teacher Mike Wesch's Anthropology's class. They organized what are called "Flash Mobs of Kindness" to be do nice things for others. Members of Wesch's class bought lunch, picked people up crossing cross walks, and picked up a car of someone struggling to parallel park. Even a group of around 70 people ran into the bookstore, and helped pay for books for a person in need with one dollar bills. Kindness was visible on campus...but was it contagious?
