Community Service
Student Involvement strives to connect students with opportunities for meaningful service at the campus, local, and global levels.
We provide opportunities on all campuses for students to help make an impact in the world through service, volunteerism, and servant leadership.
Get Involved in Your Community
Through Activating Community Transformation (A.C.T.) students are able to connect with local community partners and get real-time alerts on one-time or ongoing volunteer needs that fit their schedule and passions. Join the movement, make a difference! A.C.T. NOW and spark community transformation.
