Join fellow D.C. Metro alumni for a weekend of community service, May 21-23. While
we can't come together physically, we can still make an impact on our local communities.
From donating pet supplies to a local shelter, to helping deliver meals to those in
need, no act is too small. You can choose from any cause or non-profit organization
that speaks to you, and pick any day during that weekend to complete your act of service.
Post your picture online to show the DMV that we are united in serving, even during
these challenging times. Registration is closed. If you were unable to register you
can still participate by wearing your garnet and gold to support Winthrop while completing your act of service. Don’t forget
to take a picture in your garnet and gold and post it to social media using the #WUDCDayofService and tag D.C. Metro Alumni
Chapter in your post. Send your photos to the Alumni Association at alumni@winthrop.edu to be featured on their social media. For more information or questions email the D.C. Metro Alumni Chapter. We look forward to seeing your #WUDCDayofService pictures on social media on May
21-23!
