LEWISTON – Two Bates College students who traveled to New Orleans during their February break to work on construction projects with Habitat for Humanity will discuss their experience at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Keck classroom (G52) of the college’s Pettengill Hall.

Michael Wilson and Brooke Miller met with people affected by the hurricane while volunteering in Louisiana with two Maine Campus Compact leaders and six students from the University of Maine System’s Orono and Farmington campuses.

Wilson and Miller will present a sketch of the political and social issues attending the disaster, a report on what they accomplished and “a sensitive reflection on suffering and service to connect our trip to issues in Maine,” Wilson said in a prepared statement.
