PRIDE (Promote, Recruit, Involve, Donate and Employ) is a volunteer program sponsored by Alumni Relations. On Saturday, April 6, Alumni relations, in collaboration with Student Senate, held its annual, campus-wide event, PRIDE Day. PRIDE Day provides alumni, students, faculty and staff with opportunities to work with one another on seasonal projects that help to beautify the campus. Each year, participants trim plants, remove brush, rake leaves, weed, plant shrubbery and much more.
This year’s PRIDE Day started bright and early at 8:30 a.m. with light refreshments in the Susquehanna Room of Myer Hall. This was followed by a few welcome remarks, and at 9:30 a.m., the real fun began. Participants performed a variety of tasks all over Etown’s campus, unafraid to get their hands dirty to help aesthetically improve the College’s campus.
Questions about the PRIDE program may be directed to the administrators at PRIDE@ETOWN.EDU.
