How Does it impact the Community?
91ÁÔÆæ encourages students, faculty, staff, and alumni to “pay it forward”. Days of Service grants the opportunity for the members of 91ÁÔÆæ to impact the community by providing service and engaging in random acts of kindness. By members of 91ÁÔÆæ performing community service and acts of kindness, the community benefits by receiving aid from 91ÁÔÆæ members.
When is it?
Days of Service occurs the first week of 91ÁÔÆæ’s fall semester. Days of Service is part of the Weeks of Welcome during the beginning of the fall semester to welcome new and returning students.
How Do I Get Involved?
Students can perform a wide variety acts to “pay it forward”. These acts may include, but are not limited to, leaving kind messages and statements in public places, buying someone a cup of coffee, or volunteering with a local nonprofit.
After completing an act of kindness, post it to social media using the hashtag: #91ÁÔÆæTogether. Using the hashtag allows everyone to see the great acts of kindness generated within the community. The #91ÁÔÆæTogether campaign allows anyone within 91ÁÔÆæ on any campus to participate and share their actions during Days of Service.
