Students looking
for opportunities to volunteer this semester paid a visit to
the Spring 2003 Volunteer Fair held Jan. 21 in Alumni Hall at
the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus.
Sponsored by the
AT&T Center for Service Leadership, the fair matches hundreds
of students with representatives from more than 50 local, nonprofit
agencies, such as The Second Mile, The Alzheimer’s Association,
Alpha Ambulance, Alpha Fire Co., The AIDS Project, Centre Home
Care, Food Bank of State College, Heart to Heart Adoption Services,
International Hospitality Council, Hope for Kids, Shaver’s
Creek Environmental Center, the Peace Corps, and the Office
of Health Promotions and Education.
Student groups,
together with individual student volunteers, make the most of
their University experience by contributing nearly 180,000 hours
of local service each academic year.
Last September,
Penn State took steps to broaden and extend its outreach and
volunteer efforts by becoming a University of Promise. For more
