People are also reading… Drop-off boxes for the drive will be positioned at Grimsley Hall, the Heersink Health Science Building, and the Adult Education Building on Wallace's Dothan campus, and at Building A on the Spark's Campus in Eufaula. According to Wallace, National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week raises public awareness about the value of adult education and family literacy. Its goal is to increase financial and societal support for access to basic education programs for U.S. adults with low literacy, numeracy, and digital skills.
For additional information about the drive, contact Allison Williams at [email protected] or 334-556-2375.
