Labor of Love September 4
As part of its mission to prepare students for a lifetime of community service, UC will once again send students, faculty, and staff into the community to perform a wide range of service projects on Labor Day.
“Labor of Love” will take place on Labor Day, Monday, September 4, 2023. Nearly 40 community service activities will take place throughout Charleston and the Kanawha Valley, and students, faculty, and staff from Charleston, Beckley, and UC’s virtual campus will be taking part.
Administrative offices and departments will be paired with athletic teams and student academic program teams for a variety of service activities ranging from packing hygiene bags and food packs to painting playground equipment in Charleston area parks and helping with beautification projects for the city.
The day of service will end with participants enjoying an afternoon of Lounging on the Lawn, a fun and relaxing reward for their hard work. They will have lunch and participate in games and other activities on the campus’ riverbank lawn.
UC – Beckley students will be participating in projects as well, and UC online students are being encouraged to do community service wherever they are.
