STEPHEN
BORUTTA OF HENDRIX
COLLEGE, a sophomore on the men's
track and field team from Wenham, Mass., has been selected the SCAC
Character & Community Male Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the
week ending April 24, 2011.
Borutta, as part of his Odyssey Project at
Hendrix, will be taking a cross-country trip in a converted bus
that runs on straight vegetable oil for Ecogrease Lightning, a
non-profit agency with a goal of promoting environmentally
sustainable lifestyles through education and demonstration. He and
four other college sophomores will stop at cities from Maine to
California doing service work and giving environmental education
presentations.
“When this project is through we will have done at least 700
hours of volunteering, held seven educational experiences,
travelled 10,000 miles, lived on a bus for seven weeks, taught
hundreds of people how to be more environmentally aware, raised
awareness for many service organizations, and made a difference in
communities all over the United States,”
Borutta said.
