What is Student United Way?

Student United Way is a student-run community change group focused on advancing the common good through giving, advocating, and volunteering both on campus and in the community.  Students collaborate year-round on issues important to their neighbors while raising awareness and building lasting leadership skills.

How does Student United Way work?

A core group of Student Officers lead the effort to create powerful change on campus, and in our community.  Officers work to raise awareness of critical community needs and work to postively effect them through events, activities, and student recruitment.  Officers also plan and organize fundraising efforts to give back to the community and connect students to additional volunteer and internship opportunities.
