Packed and Ready to Go

The University is proud to house the offices of Girls on the Run Hampton Roads on our campus, and Wesleyan Engaged is proud to partner with the organization. Last fall we hosted a 5K Packet Stuffing Party to prepare 1,200 5K packets for their celebration event. In the spring we hosted a Girl Pack Assembly Party to prepare 1,100 sport packs for their after-school program participants. And we hosted their celebratory spring 2023 5K on campus. This event attracts thousands of supporters and gives program participants of all abilities a tangible sense of accomplishment.

GOTR-HR inspires all girls to build confidence and kindness while learning valuable life skills that emphasize the connection between physical and emotional health.

Wrapping Up the Holidays

In partnership with United Way of South Hampton Roads, students, faculty and staff helped wrap 34 gifts for four local families in time for the holidays.

Green Thumb

During the fall semester, students volunteered with the horticulture department at Norfolk Botanical Garden by pruning plants to facilitate growth for the next season.
