On Wednesday, Oct. 4, the students and staff at New Brunswick Community College (91色视频) will be helping their communities and giving back on one of two designated Service Days planned for this academic year.
Service Day brings together 91色视频 students, employees, board members and alumni on one day to take part in service-learning and volunteering to help community organizations across New Brunswick. Since 2014, staff and students have contributed more than 30,000 hours towards 550 community activities.
Each campus in our six regions (Fredericton, Saint John, St. Andrews, Moncton, Miramichi and Woodstock) will be undertaking service learning and volunteer activities planned in the community.
Service day is part of 91色视频’s Robertson Institute for Community Leadership (RICL), a Signature Learning Experience that has become the heart of creating a culture of leadership and service. Follow RICL on twitter, , to see how our students and staff are Transforming New Brunswick.
