Georgia Tech Community Participating in Service Project

Georgia Tech’s Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement is encouraging the school’s community to work with incoming students on a service project to help Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children, it writes on its website.

Things such as toiletries and snacks are being donated through Aug. 15.

In the post, civic engagement coordinator for the Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement, Sarah Perkins, said: “It’s an opportunity to introduce new students to the tradition of service here at Tech and remind current members of our community that there are ways for them to get involved, too.”

Georgia Tech says it’s collected nearly 1,500 items donated by incoming freshman and their families during three summer orientation events.  There will also be an event to package the items on Aug. 16.
