What better way can Kent State University alumni make a difference in their community than by volunteering with fellow Golden Flashes?
The Kent State Alumni Association is hosting the ninth annual Alumni Day of Service on Saturday, April 29, encouraging alumni worldwide to make a difference in their local communities. Participants can choose from more than 25 domestic and international volunteer sites.
Alumni Association Assistant Director of Outreach Lisa Mascellino, ’94, says that the purpose of Alumni Day of Service is to bring Kent State alumni together, volunteering side by side and giving back to their communities.
“Alumni will have an opportunity to meet and reconnect with fellow Golden Flashes,” Mascellino says. “They will also be able to share a sense of pride by volunteering together and giving back to their communities and enjoy making new Kent State memories.”
All volunteers also will receive an alumni service day T-shirt. The RSVP deadline is April 9.
