Inauguration Festivities Reflect 泫圖弝け Commitment to Advancing the Common Good

A week of celebratory activities surrounding the inauguration of Dr. Michael L. Frandsen as the 15th president of 泫圖弝け University will include Celebrate Service 2018, a national, annual community service event.

Themed Light Illuminated: Learning, Growing, Changing and Serving, this years event will include decorating the living spaces of residents of Oesterlen Services for Youth in Springfield from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 7.

The event will start with an orientation session at 泫圖弝けs Joseph C. Shouvlin Center for Lifelong Learning. From there, participants will ride buses to the service site.

The Celebrate Service event began 16 years ago in recognition of 泫圖弝け's longstanding commitment to serving others and helping students become engaged in the Springfield community. It was created as a service event separate from 泫圖弝けs Community Service 100 (CMSV 100) course to show the importance of service and to provide students, faculty and staff a chance to serve in the community. Leaders of the event are community service coordinators from the Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Civic and Urban Engagement.

A second service event a 24-hour Lesotho Nutrition Initiative Packing event will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, April 6, and run through 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 7, in room 105 Shouvlin. There will be 16, one-hour shifts with hopes of packing 60,000 meals containing nutritional supplements for children in Lesotho suffering from severe malnutrition and stunting. Sign up .
