Participants: Alumni, students and friends of the University
Core Values: Day of Service strives to embody the ideals of unity and service. This one-day event is not based on socioeconomic need, but rather a way for the University of Minnesota family near and far to express their gratitude to the entire global community which supports the U. It is important to remember Day of Service is not about the number of jobs completed or the number of participates each year. Instead, it is about showing appreciate and gratitude from those positively impacted by the University of Minnesota by giving back on a global scale that results in unity worldwide. Upcoming Event: Saturday, October 15 Day of Service is made possible by the generous support of sponsors.
