Out and About: Rensselaer Celebrates Community Service
Not to be stopped by bad weather and rain delays, more than 235 people participated in community service, volunteering more than 1000 hours of service over the past two weeks coordinated through the Office of the First-Year Experience.Students, faculty, and staff volunteered to work at museums, schools, parks, historic sites, libraries, youth centers, and more. Projects included construction and landscaping, cleaning and gardening, trail work, and general clean-up. Rensselaer volunteers have contributed thousands of hours at neighborhood parks, museums, and social service organizations through this annual community service event which began in 1999.
