As a way of being engaged neighbors in our community and further our Jesuit mission of being people for and with others, we are offering staff and faculty the opportunity to participate in a day of service with Habitat for Humanity.
There are two available options to participate: Friday, September 11 and Friday, September 18, both from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. The specific tasks for the day and build site are yet to be determined, but the build site location will be within a 10 minute drive of campus.
There are 8 available spots on each day. Please only sign up for 1 date so as many people as possible can participate. Confirmation of your spot and additional details will be emailed to those who register.
You can sign up here
