St. Thomas of Villanova Day of Service

One of our first-year students, Nick Manai, is facilitating the Day of Service at the Academy @ Palumbo in South Philadelphia on Saturday, September, 23rd. See Nick's message below!

Palumbo is in the School District of Philadelphia and Villanova has partnered with them to promote college awareness and establish a relationship between our university and a high school in Philadelphia. On the 23rd we will be repainting different rooms in the building, decorating and cleaning a new fitness center for the students, adding a hanging garden to Palumbo's already impressive rooftop, and many other important projects. I know that we are talking about a Saturday here, but Palumbo is always grateful for adult volunteers  who can attend and work with the students on these projects.

In addition to the good works, good karma and positive vibes you will receive, I live a few blocks south of the school, so if we get a group of volunteers that day I can invite everyone back to my house for an 'unofficial' English Department cook-out.

To sign up please register as an individual and choose the 'English Department' under Group Name. The day of service will last from 9am-3pm, but if you can only join us  for part of that time, just let me know beforehand.

Faculty, staff, spouses, friends and undergraduates are all welcome to join!
