More than 75 new students volunteered on Monday, Aug. 24, for New Student Volunteer Day. For two hours, the students helped local non-profits in the community and cleaned up Gilmore Creek.

Volunteer Services received a $350 Grant from Campus Compact as recipient of the 2010 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service mini-grant, administered by Minnesota Campus Compact on behalf of North Carolina Campus Compact and the Corporation for National and Community Service.

In 1994 Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, designating the King Holiday as a national day of volunteer service. Instead of a day off from work or school, Congress asked Americans of all backgrounds and ages to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by turning community concerns into citizen action. The King Day of Service brings together people who might not ordinarily meet, breaks down barriers that have divided, leads to better understanding and ongoing relationships, and is an opportunity for service organizations to recruit new volunteers.
