First-year Muskies volunteer in the community during Welcome Weekend
Nearly 100 first-year students, student leaders, faculty, and staff volunteered in the community as part of Muskingum University’s Welcome Weekend on Saturday, August 24. Service activities throughout the day included painting, gardening, cleaning, and organizing on campus and in various locations in the New Concord area.
"An important part of being a Muskingum student is learning that we can all make a positive impact on our campus and in the world," said University Chaplain Julia Sprague. "The Welcome Weekend service projects help our students hit the ground running and make an impact during their first weekend as a Muskie."
