Briar Cliff University Holds Easter Egg Hunt

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Briar Cliff University recently held an Easter Egg Hunt on campus for Crescent Park Elementary School students and the children and grandchildren of Briar Cliff employees.

A total of 27 children participated in the event, which was sponsored by BCCares, a component of Briar Cliff University’s Campus Ministry.

In addition to searching for eggs, children played “Pin the Tail on the Bunny,” bean bag toss and ping pong ball toss, had their faces painted and made Easter baskets and bunny ears.

“All the time and effort to plan and set up this event was rewarded with the children’s excitement and smiles,” said BCCares member Kayla Rempe, a junior social work major from Superior, Neb.

BCCares networks with a wide variety of local schools, social services agencies, health care centers and businesses to provide Briar Cliff students many volunteer opportunities on and off campus.  Through BCCares, students develop competencies in leadership and service and learn to apply these competencies to real-life situations.

Enrollment at Briar Cliff University is over 1,100 students from 28 states. Students are educated in the Franciscan tradition of excellence in the liberal arts and career preparation in an environment of care, compassion and openness to all.
