Big changes are coming to UCA as our Student Government Association plans “Big Event” for April 11 and 12.

This event is a community-wide service project. “Big Event” began at Texas A&M and has spread to 95 other schools since. The project has also gone international to Pakistan, Germany, Italy and Spain.

This is the first year UCA is participating in “Big Event.” The volunteers will focus on maintenance around UCA on April 11 and on service at community owned centers on April 12.

“Our initial goal is to get everyone involved. We want the whole campus to be involved, but of course we are going to reach out to people that are known for philanthropic events,” sophomore Vice President Kaitlyn Thompson said. “We are going to Greek organizations, campus ministries and an organization called Circle K. There are a lot of organizations that are community service based so we’re going to reach out to them first and then hopefully other students will also register.”

Registration for this event is on OrgSync and all students are encouraged to sign up and participate.
