As part of Barry University’s 75th Anniversary Celebration, the Center for Community Service Initiatives (CCSI) is facilitating 75 Acts of Service throughout the 2015–2016 academic year. This is a coordinated series of community service opportunities through which the University is reaffirming its commitment to collaborative service with the community.
A major goal of this initiative is to have 100 percent participation of Barry faculty, staff, and students. Each student and employee is urged to participate in at least one act of collaborative service this academic year. Barry alumni and other community members will take part in some of the projects.
For the purposes of this initiative, an act of service is a community service project or event, or a community service activity as part of a larger project or event. A small number of campus-based projects that benefit the wider community are included in the list of opportunities for service.
Although implementation of this initiative is already underway, the formal launch of 75 Acts of Service is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015 on the University’s main campus in Miami Shores.
A complete list of opportunities for service is available here. For further information and to register for a service project or event, contact the CCSI at service@barry.edu or 305-899-3696.
