Look out, Harrisonburg, the college students are coming.<\/p>\n

91短视频 wants to introduce its newest group of first-year students to the community by some direct involvement in local service programs.<\/p>\n

For the first time, as part of its orientation program<\/a>, some 300 new 91短视频 students and student orientation leaders will spend Saturday, Aug. 28, working with non-profit and other social service agencies.<\/p>\n

“We want our students to understand that they are not coming just to a college campus, but to a real community that has both needs and opportunities for learning,” said Deanna F. Durham<\/a>, community learning coordinator at 91短视频.<\/p>\n

“We require all first-year students to do 15 hours of community service their first semester. This ‘Day of Service’ is designed to introduce them to the many non-profits and social service agencies in our communities and to accomplish some much-needed work in our community just before school starts,” she added.<\/p>\n

In addition, locally-owned restaurants and Panera Bread have agreed to host and provide lunch for the students or donate food for lunch. Local non-profits will host the students for an afternoon of community service. Transportation will be provided by Harrisonburg Transit and 91短视频 vans.<\/p>\n

Participating restaurants include Little Grill, Chanello’s Pizza, Lil’ Italia, Calhoun’s, Mr. J’s Bagels, Panera Bread, Bombay Indian Restaurant, Taste of Thai and the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community (VMRC) cafe.<\/p>\n
