Faculty, staff, and graduate students are welcome and encouraged to get involved with the Community Service Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chaperone an Alternative Service Breaks (ASB) experience.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Join a group of 9-13 students for a week service, education, reflection, and fellowship during the week of spring break or the last week of winter intersession. Faculty and staff chaperone\u2019s manage the budget in solidarity with two student coordinators, and otherwise immerse themselves and participate\u00a0fully as a member of the trip. Chaperoning an ASB experience is a great way to engage in service and cultural exchange with a new community and connect meaningfully with a group of amazing students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collaborate with the CSC on a project or program.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Throughout the year, student leaders in the Community Service Center develop and plan a number of events in collaboration with other student groups and our community partner organizations, including World AIDS Day commemoration, Public Health Awareness Week, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day service projects, Global Days of Service, and holiday gift and food drives. To collaborate with the CSC on a social justice program, collection drive, or education event, contact our\u00a0Community Relations Manager<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Develop engagement or service learning opportunities.<\/span><\/h3>\n

CSC staff members are happy to help you develop engagement or service learning opportunities for your student groups or courses, and we are also able and willing to speak to students in related courses.
