Community volunteers have significantly enhanced Shepherd University's campus, particularly through landscaping projects led by residents like Elisabeth Staro. Over the summer, the beautification efforts included flower beds at the King Street entrance, reflecting the strong ties between the university and the Shepherdstown community. The Friends of Popodicon, an organization revitalizing the historic house used by university presidents, has also benefited from Staro's expertise. University officials emphasize the importance of volunteerism, noting its impact on student initiatives and the shared connection between the town and institution, as reported by The Shepherdstown Chronicle.
