Because LDS Business College is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, service has been an integral part of the College since its inception in 1886. The College performs several service projects every year, projects such as donating blood to local blood banks, tutoring students at a local elementary school, and many others. However, I would like to highlight a specific annual event that demonstrates our focus on service:

Service Learning Day
Service Learning Day is an annual event where all daytime classes are canceled and students are encouraged to get involved in service to the community. Even though there are recreational activities held as part of SLD, the main activities are service oriented. Students are divided into several groups and are assigned specific, pre-arranged service projects. This year, projects included cleaning a local Ronald McDonald House, making packets containing school supplies for children in third-world countries, preparing and serving lunch at a soup kitchen, and reorganizing a thrift store for low-income families. Students enjoy themselves and come away from the activities with a greater desire to serve.

Although our student body is relatively small (approx. 900), it is comprised of students from around the United States and the world. As a result of the many service-oriented experiences they have at the College, they are more likely to return home after graduation and serve their communities and nations.
