51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Gain experience while helping others. Service is one of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s core values. We believe it is our responsibility to give back and support our community through serving others. There are many benefits to volunteering and getting involved. Service:

• helps build skills and experiences that help make you attractive to future employers;
• provides opportunities to become active, positive contributors to society;
• allows you the opportunity to interact and build relationships with diverse groups of people;
• helps you to develop and use complex and critical thinking skills; and
• helps in the development and enhancement of leadership skills.

Students, faculty and staff can respond to various volunteer opportunities on-campus and in the community posted on . You can also connect with over 190 .
