freshman to-do list
Project Serve -- An optional community service event for freshman and transfer students
Project Serve is a great way to start your college career! This program
allows freshman and transfer students to get involved before the fall
term even begins. Participants will spend two days giving back to the
Baltimore community. Past experiences have included building houses with
Habitat for Humanity, volunteering at a local food bank, preparing meals
at the Helping Up Mission, and helping beautify schools in Baltimore
City. In addition to community service activities, there will be several
team-building exercises, social activities and a celebration dinner at
the end of the program.
Project Serve participants also have the opportunity to connect our
residential learning community called Tigers Serving Others. This
is where students live together on the same floor during the academic year
and continue to learn about and participate in community service. These
students begin with Project Serve and continue to participate in campus and
community service experiences throughout the year. This exciting residential
learning community is a partnership between the Office of Student Activities
and Department of Housing and Residence Life.
Project Serve will take place August 24-26. Students
who will live in university residence halls will move in early on August
24. 
Don't miss this great opportunity to get involved and help the surrounding community. For more information about Project Serve 2011, e-mail Dirron Allen at dallen@towson.edu or call 410-704-3307.
