A 'Little' is a 'Big' Deal

Keuka College students involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program recently held an end-of-the-year celebration for their ‘littles.’

College President Joseph G. Burke and Jeff Newland, executive director with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Rochester, were on hand to award certificates to each participant.

“One of the reasons Keuka continues to participate in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program is that the ‘bigs’ and the ‘littles’ learn from each other, which I think is important for both the Keuka student and their ‘little,’” said Burke.
