The Big Event

At the university’s largest day of service, enthusiastic volunteers participate in various service project sites such as painting, landscaping, youth development workshops, facility cleanup and more all on one BIG day. The Big Event day of community service has seen tremendous growth since its first event in 2000. Participation grew in 2019 to reach more than 1150 volunteers who completed projects at more than 112 different agency project sites and donated over four thousand hours of service to the community.
