On Sunday, February 19, at 6 PM, Caitlin Baummer of the Catholic Volunteer Network will host a dinner and conversation about service opportunities in the College Church Ballroom.

This event is a leadup to the Post-Graduate Volunteer Fair (scheduled for April 12th), as Caitlin will be talking about what to consider when looking into one-year service opportunities. Regardless of where you’re at in your SLU education, if the thought of volunteering for a year after graduation has ever crossed your mind, you should plan on being at this event. Caitlin is a great resource and has connections with numerous organizations. Plus, there is going to be free pizza and soda! Yay.

If you plan on attending, make sure you fill out this RSVP form.

Spring Community Service Fair

Published by Tynan Shevlin on January 31, 2012 in Event Announcements, General News and Service. 0 Comments

The first Spring Community Service Fair will take place on the Medical Campus this Wednesday, February 1, from 2 PM – 4 PM in the Allied Health Building’s Multipurpose Room.

Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend the fair to meet with local community agencies that will be on hand to promote service opportunities. Agencies will also be available to discuss what type of work they perform in the community, as well as to network about different service-learning and professional development opportunities that may be of interest to you.

This is a great opportunity for SLU students to engage community organizations; whether you are seeking service opportunities that overlap with either your personal or professional interests, or both, we encourage you to attend!

Support the SLU Prison Program

Published by Genevieve Knab on January 26, 2012 in Event Announcements, General News, On Campus and Service. 0 Comments

Here’s something you might not have known about Saint Louis University. Our college-in-prison program has been nominated for Monsanto’s “Grow St. Louis” contest. This could mean that our program could win an award of up to $15,000!

This money would go towards buying books for students, compensating faculty, bring in speakers to the faculty, and support other administrative aspects of the program.

It’s  up to you to make it happen: vote here before Sunday, Jan. 29th!
