Living the UC Mission
Productive work. Enlightened Living. Community Involvement.
Labor of Love
While many spend Labor Day resting, Golden Eagles are out serving. Each year, nearly 1,500 students, faculty, and staff step into the community to lend a hand through Labor of Love.
Projects range from playground painting and landscaping to preparing meals, supporting local nonprofits, and even washing fire engines.
No matter the task, students discover the joy of service and the impact of working together to strengthen the community.

Enlightened Living Days
Enlightened Living Days invites the UC community to slow down, listen, and learn.
Through conversations, workshops, and shared experiences, students explore contemporary issues—especially those outside their daily lives. The goal is simple: broaden understanding, foster compassion, and discover practical ways to make a difference.
By viewing challenges through new lenses, our community grows stronger, more connected, and better prepared to lead.
