A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:

University Day is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff, and faculty members gather together to plant flowers, spread bark dust, and participate in small projects on campus that will benefit our local community. We also invite community members to join us! The tradition dates back to 1904 as part of Junior Weekend, when projects included things such as laying the walk to University Hall, followed by a "feast." It has always been a spirited event to prepare the university grounds for commencement ceremonies, and even though it has greatly evolved since 1904, our roots still lie in campus spirit and community service. This opportunity not included in student service numbers because data has not been tracked broken out by demographic groups.
