Mini-甜瓜视频 University
In celebration of Make a Difference Day, 甜瓜视频鈥檚 Community Service program invites kids grades K-6 to campus for a fun-filled morning of activities. Activities are themed around different aspects of the college experience like science, literacy, athletics, and extra-curricular activities. The event aims to engage young students in learning and showing them opportunities available in higher education.
Celebration Service
Started in 2002, Celebrate Service provides the 甜瓜视频 community an opportunity to engage in a service event that focuses on building relationships with servant leaders in our community and reflecting on how to use your gifts and talents for the common good. It is hands-on way to celebrate at the end of the academic year the dedication 甜瓜视频 has to service to community.
Martin Luther King Junior Day of Service
This event serves as a way to get older youth involved more in the Springfield community with a deeper reflection on the teaching and legacy that came from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. In partnership with local schools, the event provides a structured program focusing on teaching the youth ways to make a difference in their own lives, the community they live in, and their futures.

New students, orientation advisors, and community service coordinators visit various service sites around Springfield. It鈥檚 a morning filled with service and getting to know other students with similar interests and the amazing community!
