USM DAY OF SERVICE MOBILIZES STUDENTS
Posted April 20, 2012
Over 100 students from all three USM campuses signed on to the 3rd Annual USM Day of Service on April 20th. From kick-off events in Portland and Gorham, students from Portland, Gorham, and Lewiston-Auburn College headed to projects in partnership with Portland Trails, Partners for World Health, Rippling Waters Organic Farm and Education Center, and Gorham Campus Composting. President Selma Botman offered words of welcome and thanks, pointing out that civic engagement is part of USM's mission and identity, and that last year alone, nearly 1000 students contributed nearly 20,000 hours of service to the Greater Portland community.
