On an October afternoon in 2014, thousands of 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 students and staff fanned out across the province to support community projects. It was the launch of the Robertson Institute for Community Leadership and the beginning of an 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 tradition that has resulted in members of the 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 family contributing 50,000 volunteer hours to more than 900 community projects through nine service days.
On Wednesday, October 9, the students and staff at New Brunswick Community College (老澳门六合彩开奖结果) will celebrate five years of giving back to their communities on the first of two designated Service Days planned for this academic year, and the tenth Service Day in 老澳门六合彩开奖结果’s history.
Service Day brings together 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 students, employees, Board members and alumni to participate in service learning and volunteering to help community organizations across New Brunswick.
Service Day has become one of the foremost annual events for , an essential aspect of the 老澳门六合彩开奖结果 Advantage, creating a culture of community leadership and service at the College.
