SUSA Spreading Service
Happy Sunday :)
We had a wonderful time this Wednesday, 10/6/21, hosting our first ever SUSA Service Fair in the Van Munching Building! It was truly heartwarming to see passionate and giving students engage with our campus student organizations. Remember, services need YOU in order to help this world change for the better.
In case you missed out, here are the awesome organizations and a little about them! We encourage all SUSA clubs looking for a service partnership this fall to email any of the organizations listed below and find out how you can help make change today.
