Welcome Week Service Day

The Welcome Week Service Day at MSJ invites all students, faculty, staff, and alumni to participate in a campus-wide service event on August 24th from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. 

The event offers five volunteer options: Imago, BLOC Ministries, EarthConnection, Freestore Foodbank, and Western Wildlife Corridor. RSVP is required, and volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty.

Check-in is at 8 a.m. in the Theater Lobby, where participants will complete a waiver, receive a free t-shirt, and enjoy snacks.

Volunteers should provide their own transportation, though limited space is available for students without it. The event concludes with lunch at Noon. It's sponsored by the Career & Experiential Education Center and the Office of Mission and Belonging. For questions, contact Caroline Meyer at caroline.meyer@msj.edu
