UIC students give back during volunteer day
Dozens of University of Illinois Chicago students helped celebrate the investiture of UIC Chancellor Marie Lynn Miranda by volunteering to garden, clean parks, paint and offer other assistance to the community as part of a day of service on April 5.
Anyone in the UIC community was invited to help out at one of several sites around Chicago for the volunteer day, part of a week of special events to mark Miranda’s official installment as the university’s 10th chancellor. Miranda volunteered alongside students, too, for the day of service.
The day was intended for students, faculty and staff volunteers to build bridges with the community. During this service day, about 200 people volunteered with community and nonprofit partners.
