Some individuals may use this day to assist an elderly church member or with an organization in which they currently volunteer. If you are doing a self-directed project, we kindly ask that you "register" it with the Student Life Office so we can have an accurate record of the number of students, faculty and staff involved during the campus wide service day as well as the number of different places of service. We can be reached at 661.5090 or ktaylor@uu.edu .
