Students take part in service projects during WVU Welcome Week
Trending
WVU's Welcome Week is underway. The activities and events are meant to integrate students into campus life and culture, with a balance of academic, service and social components.
Sunday and Monday, first-year students who were interested could participate in an adventure/campus recreation activity through Adventure WV or a community service project through the Center for Service and Learning.
Among the service opportunities, students could make improvements to green space along the Falling Run trail; harvest produce at the university's organic farm; maintain historic buildings; assist with organizing a large donation of new children's clothes for distribution to communities throughout West Virginia; cut, tie and sew labels on blankets for Project Linus as well as prepare activity packets for a Moment of Magic and Girls on the Run.
The following adventure/campus recreation activities will offered today:
— paddling/canoe/kayak at the Star City Park boat ramp area
— High ropes/canopy tour at the WVU Outdoor Education Center
Club sports sampler at Mylan Park
