Theme
Each year UNIFIED WE SERVE centralizes volunteerism within the context of a theme of service. The theme serves a purpose of providing UNIFIED WE SERVE members with an opportunity to spend one year learning about a prevailing issue facing the community. In addition to participating in diverse service projects throughout the year, the theme of service implements target-specific projects to educate our students. Simulations, Activities/Exercises, Trainings, Guest Speakers, Field Trips, and Service Projects are implemented to develop understanding of the target population we work with throughout the year.
UNIFIED WE SERVE has partnered with University 100 to develop each year's theme around the book chosen for the Freshman Common Reading Program in an attempt to bridge Student Affairs with Academic Affairs so that students can learn about an issue from reading the chosen book and apply their learning through a related community service project to enhance the educational process.
