OLIVET, Mich. — Olivet College is gearing up for its annual spring Service Day Wednesday, March 27. Faculty, staff and students put aside their normal routine to volunteer on campus and in the community as part of Service Day activities.
"Volunteering is a core constitution of Olivet College,” said Jacob Richards, community service coordinator. “Built into our Olivet Compact are the words 'I am responsible for service to Olivet College and the larger community.' The act of volunteering is a life-changing experience for all involved. Olivet College's Service Day is a time to cherish the act of serving others and a time to give back to our humble community."
Projects will include campus-wide clean-ups, volunteering at a church in Lansing, organizing materials in Burrage Library, working at the Kirkelldel Biological Preserve and much more.
Service projects are organized by Olivet College students, employees, athletic teams, Greek societies and student organizations under the direction of Jacob Richards, community service coordinator.
