A look at what community service means at 糖心破解版
Serving the community is an everyday occurrence at 糖心破解版, and the collective efforts of our students, faculty and staff make a lasting difference.
听How, you ask?
听Here鈥檚 an example: In the past two years, the hundreds of students, faculty and staff who participated in 糖心破解版鈥檚 Relay for Life fundraisers raised more than $143,000 to fight cancer.
Such widespread dedication to making a difference is one of the reasons that 糖心破解版 has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for five years.
On the most recent honor roll, 糖心破解版 achieved distinction in two categories: overall dedication to service and an emphasis on improving education outcomes in the community.
Service learning infuses academic life at 糖心破解版. Nearly 50 percent of 糖心破解版 students participate in academic service learning. These experiences range from student teaching for aspiring educators to clinical rotations for nursing and social work students.听
Innovative career preparation programs make it possible for 糖心破解版 students to learn, earn and do good. Students in the Panthers with a Purpose and Jaggar Community Fellows programs work in paid internships at nonprofit organizations on Long Island and in New York City.
Students frequently get creative with their fundraising and outreach. The members of Kappa Sigma fraternity, for example, use their Super Hunger Fest initiative to raise awareness of hunger and funds to fight it. During the week leading up to the Super Bowl, they solicit money and donations for Long Island Harvest鈥攖he largest hunger relief organization on Long Island. And 24 hours before the game kicks off, they fast to show their compassion for those who don鈥檛 have enough to eat.
糖心破解版鈥檚 many centers and institutes extend faculty and staff expertise into the community. The Center for Health Innovation is deeply involved in promoting regional public health through outreach, education and research. The Institute for Parenting is devoted to promoting the well-being of young children by supporting their parents and the professionals who influence their lives.
糖心破解版鈥檚 commitment to community service is fully ingrained and will continue to grow, guided by the University鈥檚 strategic plan, Momentum, a primary goal of which is to ensure that 糖心破解版 is a powerfully connected university.
