Groups of 18-20 new students (first year, transfer, and international students) collaborate on projects with one of more than three dozen community partners, along with orientation leaders, faculty, and staff. Trained orientation leaders prepare the groups to participate in activities at the sites with a representative from the community. Upon returning to Naz, the orientation leaders facilitate a reflection of the day's events.

Goals:

• Introduce new students to the community of which they are now a member.  
• Help students identify some of the assets and strengths as well as the challenges present in the community.    
• Participate in a project supporting the goals of our community. 
• Introduce students to a variety of career paths and opportunities that support our Rochester community.
• Give students an opportunity to get to know each other. 

Engage with our community in service following the vision of Dr. King!

For this national event to "make it a day on, not off," we participate in community service projects on two days around MLK Day.

Each January, these events are detailed in the calendar: See Events online or in the Nazareth App.

Just before graduation, our seniors take time to serve. The senior class officers collaborate with the Weider Community Engagement Office and Naz's community partners on projects such as literacy, college access, and environmental sustainability. 

Let's go for a walk, a run, and a bike ride to support charity! Nazareth students, faculty and staff come out for fundraisers. Students also have the opportunity to build and apply leadership skills by planning and hosting events. 

For details, see Events online or in the Nazareth App or contact Adam Lewandowski, alewand8@naz.edu or 585-389-2307.
