NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University field hockey team participated in a campus-wide drive that collected school supplies to benefit the New Haven Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services organization. Members of the squad pitched in with notebooks, writing utensils and other items that will be used by local children identified by the organization.
This program is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes 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 more than 2,500 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2009-10 academic year.
