NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes from the Southern Connecticut State University gymnastics program resumed work with youngsters at the Beecher School in New Haven on Monday. The program was on hiatus for the Owls’ winter break, but has resumed for the spring semester. SCSU student-athletes worked with fourth grade students at the school on reading and vocabulary review in preparation for state testing.
This program is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.
Initiated in September, 2008, the ‘Community Service Cup’ program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered nearly 2,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2008-09 academic year.
