This past Saturday, Mar. 30, Bloomsburg University’s annual The Big Event was held. The Big Event celebrated its 10th anniversary with nearly 2,000 student volunteers working at about 225 job sites.
The Big Event is sponsored by the CGA, and it is a community service event that allows BU students to give back to Bloomsburg and demonstrate their appreciation for the community and its residents. Campus organizations such as Greek Life, sports teams, interest-based organizations, Living and Learning Communities, and other students groups volunteer on this day.
WNEP covered The Big Event, and you can check out their coverage here.
BUnow participated again this year with members of our writing, editing, and PR teams working together to help clean up a town resident’s yard.
The Big Event was again a successful day, and student volunteers were happy to have the nice weather we had (although they would have participated in any weather). We can’t wait for next year already!
