National Alumni Service Day

On Saturday April 10th Carroll University participated in it's first ever National Alumni Day of Service. The Alumni relations department encouraged all alum to participate in some sort of service.
Locally, alumni, faculty, and students teamed up to serve at three community organizations.

Volunteers cut down invasive buckthorn at Glacier Cone Park which is threatening native trees and is in danger of taking over the park. Alumni, Carroll's Ecological Conservation Group, and Carroll's mens and womens basketball teams contributed to the effort of riding the park of buckthorn.


Another group of volunteers served at Bethesda Thrift Shop in Hales Corners. Volunteers sorted and priced donations for the store.

Our third group of volunteers including Alumni, faculty, and Carroll's International Experience Club worked at New Threads of Hope, a local non-profit that collects new, overstock or donated clothing items and donates them to local social service agencies. Carroll Volunteers help sort donations.


Big thanks to all those that came out to volunteer. It is great to see Carroll students, staff, and alumni making a difference in the community. It is clear that this event will grow in the future.
