Volunteer Opportunities
Community outreach is an important part of a student's education at the Institute. The Office of Student and Alumni Services offers opportunities throughout the year for students to give back to the community. A Thanksgiving Food Drive is sponsored annually for a local pantry, and in the past we have had students coordinate a coat drive, as well as donate to a local youth shelter. Students are encouraged to bring ideas for volunteer opportunities to OSAS.
The Schweitzer Fellowship is another opportunity for students to make a difference in the community. Students who are chosen as Schweitzer Fellows complete a year of service within the local community in a field of their choosing, and are given a stipend by the Schweitzer Foundation. For those students interested in applying, information sessions are held on campus later in the fall semester, and applications are due in February.
