Campus Day

University of Idaho President
Tim White
Supports Campus Day

"The University of Idaho has strong traditions of community, community pride and stewardship. Since the earliest years, the university has found ways to put its commitment to community engagement and sustainability into action. I applaud the Campus Day tradition begun so many years ago by Permeal French, dean of women. She modeled for us the true spirit of building community through working together. On Campus Day 2008 I invite you to grow this legacy by participating, as I will, in Campus Day activities."

You can volunteer as an individual or as a group; it's that easy. Come on down at 8:30 AM to hear the President speak. The booth will be open to take volunteers names and project assignment after President White is through. Grab a map and head to the work site. Once we have reached our volunteer capacity for any project, we will close that project unless more help is requested by the team leader. All projects start at 9:00 a.m. These projects are fairly labor intensive. Wear your grubby clothes, and bring gloves and work shoes. Feel free to stay as long or as little as your schedule allows. Your help is greatly appreciated. We close down the projects at 3 PM to allow time to remove debris and pack up tools and put equipment away for the day.

Feel free to select a project early by reviewing the projects listed at our Project Page on the web if you so desire, before they fill up. Then contact us at campusday@uidaho.edu, and let us know which project you or your group would like to be assigned too. Spaces are limited on some projects, so let us know early.
