Student Bunk-in Program
The Moyers Corners Fire Department has been running a Student Bunk-in Program for some time now, and it has been a tremendous success. Students who are enrolled in the Fire Protection Technology Curriculum at Onondaga Community College live at the fire stations. In return for living at the fire stations, the students work regular duty shifts to help maintain the fire stations and apparatus, and when an alarm comes in, act as firefighters and respond with the apparatus. This has not only helped to keep the facilities and apparatus well maintained, but has also helped the daytime staffing.

“here
to this college on the hill above Harlem
I am the only colored student in my class.”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
