Philadelphia University held its first-ever, campus-wide Day of Service on Oct. 1, 2008. In the first three years of Day of Service combined, more than 3,460 Philadelphia University students, faculty, staff and alumni volunteers participated in service activities, totaling more than 12,150 community service hours.

There are several ways alumni can get involved in Day of Service:

• If you are in the Philadelphia area, sign up as an individual volunteer and be part of a service project with faculty, staff, students and other alumni in the Philadelphia area. These service projects will take place during the day on Tuesday, Sept. 27. Registration is now closed.
• If you live in the Philadelphia area and would like to create a service project during the month of September (outside of the dedicated University Day of Service during the day on Tuesday, Sept. 27), organize a group of alumni and friends!
  Scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 25: First 5 is partnering with Habitat for Humanity for an alumni Day of Service project. All alumni are invited!
• If you live outside of the Philadelphia area and would like to create a service project in your city/community to be part of Philadelphia University’s Day of Service, organize a group of alumni and friends! Email alumni@PhilaU.edu for details.
