Welcome Week Service Project

by David Hoffman


The Welcome Week Service Project on Saturday, August 31st (8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., transportation provided) is a chance for UMBC students to meet friends, get your hands dirty, learn about community issues and have some fun to start the year. This is an especially good opportunity for new students to get involved in service and make connections.

 Participants will provide landscaping, gardening, harvesting, renovation, and painting support for The Samaritan Women, a Catonsville organization supporting people impacted by domestic human trafficking. Meet at 8:30 a.m. at Commons Circle (the oval at the end of Commons Drive, next to The Commons). Transportation, breakfast and lunch will be provided.
   
Space is limited, so sign up at: http://goo.gl/L2HAAx, or email Mark Zachar, Graduate Coordinator for Service in the Office of Student Life: mzachar1@umbc.edu.

 Also: Members of the UMBC community are contributing to the common good on campus and beyond. Read about some of this work here.
