SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV — Shepherd University students, faculty, and staff are helping make the holidays special for those who might not otherwise receive much. Shepherd’s Office of Student Community Services collected donations for the Salvation Army, Operation Christmas Teen, Candy Cane Express at T.A.
