EVANSVILLE – The University of Evansville announced Taylor Wahlgren, Syracuse, participated in the Freshman Service Project Aug. 22.
The project sent more than 500 new U.E. students to 20 locations throughout Evansville. Tasks ranged from painting to cleaning to landscaping, and service locations included parks, community centers and other nonprofit organizations.
The annual Freshman Service Project is part of Welcome Week, a program designed to help incoming students transition into college life before classes begin.
“The goal of the Freshman Service Project is to help new students such as Taylor Wahlgren get acquainted with the community they’ll call home during their college years,” said Geoff Edwards, director of U.E.’s Center for Student Engagement and coordinator of the Freshman Service Project. “Last year, U.E. students contributed nearly 17,000 hours of community service, and we hope the Freshman Service Project inspires many students to continue serving the Evansville community.”
