Various campus-wide service events

Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) - IN, Indiana

In the IUPUI Center for Service and Learning, the Coordinator for the Office of Community Service oversees several campus-wide service events. For nine years each fall semester, students, faculty and staff volunteer for the United Way Day of Caring and assist city non-profit organizations in painting, computer work, outdoor planting, and tutoring. In the spring semester these groups participate in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “”Day On”" of Service (5 years) volunteering at community sites. Additionally, in the spring (5 years), the university, in collaboration with the city parks department, clean up and landscape adopted area parks. The entire campus is involved in an annual food drive during Thanksgiving with the food delivered by our mascot-decorated bus to area food pantries. During the Holiday Assistance Program, for six years needy families have been identified by our partner-community centers and adopted by university departments who purchase clothing and gifts.
