As part of Welcome Week, all incoming students will take part in one of a variety of service projects in the early afternoon (about three hours) of the Saturday before classes (August 29). While this event is geared towards first-year students, we are calling on the help of returning students, faculty, and staff as well as community partners to help make this event a success!
First-year students
One of the best parts of Saturday of Service is that volunteers get to choose where they do their service. Whether it be a park, church, rec center, school, etc., first-year student participants can start signing up for their service during their summer orientation in July. More information forthcoming.
Team Leaders
Current students, faculty, and staff are invited to become Team Leaders for our Saturday of Service event. Team Leaders support new students by joining them at their sites to help lead the experience, connecting with the site supervisor, and ensuring students are performing the activity safely. It is a fulfilling experience that builds community and connects students with the local community, before they even begin classes!
