Grace McGrath volunteers during L-LC Community Service Weekend

2017 Nov 21

More than 500 new Living-Learning Community students, including Grace McGrath , spent one of their first weekends at UAlbany volunteering on-campus and in the City of Albany through opportunities provided by the Living-Learning Community Connections weekend. On Saturday, September 16th, two shifts of about 125 students each completed projects on-campus for Albany Medical Center, The Capital City Rescue Mission, CHIME (an after school music program), and the Red Bookshelf Project. Students also wrote letters to active military members. Another 240 students volunteered on Sunday, September 17th, at various locations in the local community. This included working with the Central Ave BID to tear apart the city's hanging planters and recycle compostable materials for St. Anne Institute's gardening program, volunteering on various projects in Albany's South End, and supporting the Pine Hills Neighborhood's "Meet, Munch, and More" community event.
