iHelp: University of Illinois Day of Service
Each year at the start of Homecoming, UIAA Student Alumni Ambassadors rally nearly 2,000 students on campus to participate in iHelp, a day of service within the Champaign-Urbana community. This year, U of I students are inviting Illinois alumni to show their loyalty and pride by wearing their Orange & Blue and participating in a community service project on behalf of the University. Service to one another is a lifelong value that lots of people within the Illinois family cherish – let’s help make a difference in communities all around the world. MORE INFO AND ONLINE REGISTRATION
We want to hear how you participated in iHelp. Tell us what your project was, who was with you and how you all made a difference in your community. Send your 2011 iHelp experience to Lynn Chaney at studentalumniambassadors@illinois.edu.
