As part of Investiture Week, Savannah State University invites students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends to take part in a campus-wide Community Service Day.
Together, we will give back, strengthen our connections, and reflect the values of service and responsibility that define the SSU legacy.
Faculty and staff should obtain supervisor approval before volunteering, and students should not miss class to participate. For any questions please contact Mr. Johnny McDonald, MPA – Prospect Research & Gift Planning Officer, Division of University Advancement at [email protected].
