August 12th, 2006

The 2006 Day of service was held on Saturday, August 12, 2006, and was a great success.  Incoming first year and returning second year students spent half a day volunteering together at four community service sites in the Triangle area.  Overall, this was a wonderful opportunity for the students to meet and work together to give something back to the community.  Thanks to all who made the day such a success!  To see pictures, click here.
