Many of our students engage in a variety of service activities during their time on campus and then become alumni who are active community members and engaged citizens. Having a day of service on campus is a nice way for our current students and our alumni to work together to continue the Concord tradition of service.

Some of the service projects will include painting paw prints on campus, work in Athens Town Park, and putting graduate boxes together for spring graduation.
