Waxahachie, Texas – December 7, 2015 – On November 20, 2015, Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) students, staff and faculty participated in the national Make A Difference Day. The event was organized by SAGU’s Residential Life Department.

Senior student and residential assistant Tiree Dean said, “Make a Difference Day is an amazing experience that allows us to reach our local community in a tangible way. I am so glad that I was able to be apart of it!”

The day concluded in SAGU’s Student Center for a time of fellowship and Chick-fil-A sandwiches donated by the Residential Life Department.
