O-Week Outreach Day

Since 1995, the Community Involvement Center has organized an Outreach Day on the last day during New Student Orientation Week (O-Week). Each year, more service projects are offered and more students participate. In 1999, almost 400 students signed up for one of 25 service projects. Volunteers helped to sort clothes at the Houston Area Women's Center Second-to-None Retail Shop, cleaned-up at the Bering Omega AIDS Hospice, worked on a house with the Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, painted at a homeless shelter, washed dogs at the Humane Society, took a group of children to the Zoo, and many more fun activities. Upperclass students can be involved by serving as site leaders for the projects.
