Olivia DrakeJanuary 19, 20103minJeff Gilarde, director of scientific imaging in the Biology Department, spent his holiday vacation volunteering with the Habitat for Humanity of Horry County, near Myrtle Beach, S.C. Gilarde is pictured here near the tool trailer on Dec. 30, where the temperature was 38 degrees. Fellow volunteer Don Simon and Gilarde constructed about 32 'headers' for the entire house. These parts go over every door, window and closet to stabilize the structure and keep it hurricane safe. "It's hard work but well worth the sweat. It sure feels good to know that some family in Myrtle Beach will have a house to live in soon," he says. Gilarde rests on the headers that he built. community service Related Articles All NewsFacultyGrants May 2, 2024 Editorial Staff Faculty Achievements in Academic Year 2023-24 All NewsStudents May 2, 2024 Jeff Harder Wesleyan Senior Studies Texas Book Challenges All NewsCampus LifeCampus News & Events April 24, 2024 Mike Mavredakis At WesFest, Admitted Students Share Opinions on Diversity of Thought, Open Curriculum
