Connecting Through Service
In an effort to establish a community service network for Emporia State University students, faculty and staff, the CSI has developed a new program called "Connecting Through Service." This new community service program has been designed to create links between the campus and community by providing information about volunteer opportunities to the campus community and potential volunteers to Emporia service organizations.
