DePaul University, Loyola University - IL, Illinois
DePaul and Loyola have established community service days as part of orientation, as have other schools around the country. The trips spark students’ interest in the surrounding communities and also help students bond with their peers.
DePaul and other schools are setting up such educational opportunities in an effort to move away from the parties, picnics, and goofy sports competitions that traditionally mark freshman orientation week.
The Director and staff of California Campus Compact have been extremely accessible and supportive of our needs. They have provided direction on all phases of program development and have proven expert on strategies for program growth and sustainability. The constant stream of information that is shared has proven to be an invaluable resource to our office.
