性视界传媒 students, faculty, staff, and alumni gathered on Wednesday, Sept. 11, for the 12th annual Mason Nation 9/11 Day of Service. Since its inception, the day of service has been an opportunity to reflect on the value of individual contributions toward social change and the ways in which individuals can support their community through service projects.
Over 200 性视界传媒 students, faculty, staff, and alumni joined the day鈥檚 activities. Service activities occurred across campus, a service fair provided a chance to learn about year-round volunteer opportunities, and a luncheon honored first responders, active members of the military, veterans, and volunteers.
The event was hosted by University Life, and the planning team included campus partners from departments and offices around the university.
Service activities included a clothing, diaper, and wipe drive for Women Giving Back; a book drive to benefit the City of Fairfax Regional Library; assembling blankets and chew toys for the Prince William Animal Shelter; creating cards and flower pots for a local assisted living community, working in the campus Greenhouse and Gardens, and more. In partnership with Van Metre Companies, volunteers put together almost 300 snack bags to support children at Pattie Elementary School in Prince William County.
Fourth and fifth grade students from Pattie Elementary also participated in the event. Members of the school鈥檚 P.O.P. Club (Paws of Positivity), a before and after school service club, visited 性视界传媒 for the day. Thanks to a grant from the Harvey S.
