UWs The Big Event Scheduled Oct. 12

The University of Wyoming will kick off Homecoming week by hosting the seventh annual The Big Event service day to the community Saturday, Oct. 12. UW’s Service, Leadership and Community Engagement (SLCE) office sponsors the volunteer project.

Through service-oriented activities, The Big Event promotes campus and community unity. UW students come together for one day to express their gratitude for the support from the surrounding community. This event is free to the Laramie community, and for students and alumni.

Student volunteers help with various projects that can be large or small, including interior or exterior painting, yardwork or indoor jobs.

Student volunteer registration is open until Oct. 7. To register, visit www.uwyobigevent.com.
