Boutsaba Janetvilay, faculty librarian, Metadata & Resource Description in the Henry Madden Library, and Dr. Khampha Thephavong, director of Medical Service, Student Health and Counseling Center, helped coordinate and plan an innovative COVID-19 drive-thru college scholarship fundraiser for the Laotian Community of Fresno [LACF].

Thephavong, is a founding member of LACF, a volunteer-operated, nonprofit organization. Janetvilay is a second-year volunteer. The fundraiser — delivery or pick up of a Lao charcuterie board and two wines — raises money for Fresno County college students of Laotian descent. Several of the 2020 scholarship recipients are Fresno State students.
