A group of University of Arkansas students meets with the Franklin County Search and Rescue Team to donate money for equipment and supplies.

A group of students at the University of Arkansas recently participated in a "Social Change" project for their ethics class, which included connecting a for-profit organization, the Ozark Chiropractic Clinic, with a nonprofit organization, the Franklin County Search and Rescue, in order to make a donation to the nonprofit organization.

This group of students, which included Mathieu Ulmschneider, Lindsey Horton, Preston Baker and Zachary Percoski, chose to help the Franklin County Search and Rescue team because of its efforts to help Trent Faith, the University of Arkansas student who died after accidentally falling from a cliff last semester. Ulmschneider and Percoski were Faith's fraternity brothers, and were very close to him. Percoski was even helped by the rescue team as he was there the night the tragedy occurred.
