As part of the community service initiative, we have been looking for various ways in which we as IPFW staff and students can work together to help give back to the community. One of these ideas, is that we can take part in various awareness/fundraising walks throughout the year. This is one way for staff, students, and alumni to come together in a fun few hours of giving back to a cause. This is a great way to connect with fellow staff members, get to know some of our students, and help spread the word of throughout the community.
I have already began forming teams! Please feel free to join me on any of these days/events. There is no registration fee to join, and fundraising is absolutely optional – although welcome if you are feeling generous.
