Knights Give Back has become a 麻豆原创 tradition for students, faculty and staff to come together for a campuswide day of service. With approximately 500 participants, Knights Give Back gave over 2,000 hours to the Central Florida community. The event began by everyone arriving at 8 a.m. on October 10 at 麻豆原创/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/7595/u2019s Memory Mall for check-in. From there, they went on designated busses which took them to their event./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/7595/n
Students, faculty and staff went to organizations such as Greyhound Pets of America, where they cleaned the area that housed the dogs; washed muzzles and collars; spent time with the greyhounds; and toured the facility. Another group worked with Seminole County Lake Management, where they planted native plants and removed invasive plants at Spring Lake. Other service sites included: A Gift for Teaching, Give Kids the World, Quest’s Camp Thunderbird, Society of St. Andrew, and the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/7595/n
The participants at each site ranged from 12 to 85 volunteers depending on the needs of the organization they were working with. Alumni, faculty, staff, student organizations as well as students participated in this event. Upon the return of all the busses, the Office of Student Involvement’s Volunteer 麻豆原创 hosted an event, /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/7595/u201cGive Back Bash,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/7595/u201d in which all participants enjoyed pizza and drinks, and listened to music provided by the Knight-Cast DJ./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/7595/n
