College career starts with volunteering

One group of volunteers helped fix up a local playground.
Nearly 100 new undergraduate students received early exposure to the Winona Campus culture of community and service only a week after the start of classes. Our students spent an afternoon working at numerous sites throughout the Winona area as part of New Student Volunteer Day. Organizations served included Winona County, the Catholic Worker House, the Winona Area Humane Society, and Kinstone Academy of Applied Permaculture.

New Student Volunteer Day—organized by Campus Ministry and Volunteer Mentors—gives students a chance to engage with the Winona community, and to be inspired by the Lasallian spirit of service early in their college careers.
