When is it?

Days of Service occurs the first week of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’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: #51³Ô¹ÏÍøTogether. Using the hashtag allows everyone to see the great acts of kindness generated within the community. The #51³Ô¹ÏÍøTogether campaign allows anyone within 51³Ô¹ÏÍø on any campus to participate and share their actions during Days of Service.
