The Student Activities Office is the home of community service on the Fitchburg State College campus. Cindy Flynn is the Coordinator of Campus Volunteer Efforts and Jeremy Chaussee is our Volunteer Center programmer. This is what we have done on our campus with our student population to empower them to become more involved with the community:
Our Volunteer Center has been booming with volunteers since its ground breaking in September. We have over 60 non-profit agencies in the Worcester County area registered with us and we have also involved our students with community “”matches”" through our service learning program.
The College has sponsored Manny Lewis, Karen Shatin and Andrea Felix as Massachusetts Campus Compact Interns for the 1998-99 academic year. Jeremy Chaussee, Cindy Flynn and I attended the fall conference at Holy Cross in November.
Over 100 students participated in the National Day for Hunger and Homelessness on April 10. The Student Activities Office hosted a barbecue for all those who volunteered their time.
Our office sponsored Mal Coles as one of our Academic Forum speakers at the end of March. He had the opportunity to meet with a number of students and will be participating in our fall Leadership Conference.
Members of our Association of Builders and Contractors chapter worked on two separate Habitat for Humanity projects this past fall and winter.
