Second Annual CSUnity To Take Place In Fort Collins April 4
Tuesday, March 24, 1998
FORT COLLINS--Colorado State University students will
come together to give back to the Fort Collins community
through a day of service April 4.
The second annual CSUnity, a campus wide community
service event, will unite students from Greek chapters,
student organizations, the Associated Students of Colorado
State University, and residence halls and apartments to give
a few hours of service to the community that they call home
during their college years.
Teams of students will be sent out to work with a
variety of agencies who are concerned with issues such as
hunger, children, the environment, people with disabilities,
the elderly, women, and affordable housing. The day of
service provides an excellent opportunity for students to
form a stronger link with the Fort Collins community, and
allows community agencies an opportunity to create more
awareness of their organization and make a connection with
Colorado State students.
The day will begin at 8:30 a.m. April 4 at the Durrell
Center with registration, followed by a breakfast rally at 9
a.m. The rally will feature speakers from the Fort Collins
and campus communities. Volunteers will then be sent out to
their assigned community agencies to provide service from
10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The day will conclude at 2:30 p.m.
at the Durrell Center with food and entertainment.
flThe day is designed to facilitate a stronger
relationship between students and the community,fl said Jen
Gelbmann, one of the advisors to the CSUnity planning
committee. flThe Fort Collins community is so rich in what it
has to offer, and CSUnity is an opportunity for Colorado
State students to experience it in a way which they might
otherwise miss out on.fl
Last year, 85 students participated in CSUnity service
projects with agencies such as the Overseas Development
Network, the Sunshine School, the Education and Life
Training Center, the Environmental Learning Center, and the
Humane Society for Larimer County. Similar projects are
being negotiated for this year with a wide variety of
community agencies.
Students who would like to participate in CSUnity can
pick up registration materials at the following locations:
the Palmer Center front desk, the Residence Hall front
desks, the Apartment Life Community Centers, the ASCSU
office, the Greek Life Office, and the Lory Student Center
Information Desk. The registration deadline is March 25, and
materials are due to 111 Palmer Center.
