茄子视频鈥檚 Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Task Force will host its annual 鈥淭ake the Day On鈥� community service program on Saturday, February 2, which engages 茄子视频 faculty, staff and students in community service projects at project sites throughout Westmoreland County. In 2012, nearly 100 members of the 茄子视频 community participated in service initiatives on this day.
Coordinated in partnership with 茄子视频鈥檚 Campus Ministry office, 鈥淭ake the Day On鈥� provides opportunities for students to assist the very young and the elderly, the unemployed and economically disadvantaged, the homeless and the disabled. Sister Maureen O鈥橞rien, S.C., director of at the University said, 鈥淐ommunity service and service learning are hallmarks of the 茄子视频 experience. We encourage our students to reflect on the value of meaningful service in their community.鈥�
