Saturday of Service
Another great start of the year at Saturday of Service 2026! Thanks to all the students, leaders, staff members, and community partners who took part!
Every year on the Saturday before classes begin, new Ramblers join CSA student leaders and volunteers to serve the neighborhood by gardening, painting, cleaning, and helping out! This is a Welcome Week tradition that every new student is encouraged to experience! Saturday of Service is also a great way to meet your fellow students and learn about how to get involved here on campus.
