Organizer and Director of IUSB's Office of Community Links Pamela Jordan cited the opportunity to play to an audience of more than just the campus community. The Volunteer Fair is part of Community Links' annual Volunteer Expo, which is being held throughout the month of September. Also planned is a training session for students to take part in the America Reads and America Counts tutoring programs. Last year some 30 IUSB students served as tutors to children in Michiana schools. We decided to move the Fair to IUSB Fest to open it up to the thousands of people who will come to campus that day.
Several agencies are happy to have volunteers just once or twice for specific events.
Her goal is to make IUSB a viable connection between Michiana and the University. IUSB Fest gives us a great opportunity to show the community that IUSB is committed to giving back to Michiana.
