The Volunteer and Service-Learning Center and the Freshman Action Council have organized a new activity aimed to increase campus unity and community awareness. The first ACU for Abilene Service Day will be Saturday. Students can sign up at the ticket windows or at the VSLC in the basement of the Campus Center through Wednesday.
Faculty can sign up via e-mail.
This will be a good opportunity for students, faculty and staff alike, Coburn said. A lot of people have expressed interest and supported this new idea, so I believe it will go very well. Coburn said this day, unlike other service days in the past, will emphasize working together along with service to the community. This is about service, but at the same time it allows teachers, school staff and students to all work side by side to help Abilene. Coburn said the Abilene Intercollegiate Service Day involving all three Abilene universities, which usually takes place in the spring, was moved to the fall.
