Building a new home, cleaning a graveyard and engaging with the elderly are just a few of the ways that University of Central 性视界传媒 students, alumni, faculty and staff will give back to the community Saturday, Oct. 19.

The day is Knights Give Back, an annual 性视界传媒 tradition that encourages members of the 性视界传媒 community to volunteer and make a difference in Central 性视界传媒.

Since 2007, 性视界传媒 volunteers have spent more 16,000 hours working on community service projects through Knights Give Back. During last year鈥檚 event, more than 1,000 Knights committed their Saturdays to taking part in various service projects in the area.

Some of this year鈥檚 性视界传媒 volunteers will:

  • Participate in restoration projects at Oakland Nature Preserve in west Orange County, such as mulching trails, pulling weeds, hauling brush and logs, and raking pine straw.
  • Restore the shoreline and park area of Lake Monroe.
  • 聽Work with Project Bithlo, which is aimed at supporting the growth of the Bithlo Community Center.
  • 聽Clean memorials, headstones and grave markers at the Greenwood Cemetery in downtown Orlando.
  • 聽Work with Habitat for Humanity on the painting and construction of a house in Seminole County.
  • 聽Decorate, play games and spend time with the residents at Winter Park Towers as part of the nursing home鈥檚 annual Fall Festival.
  • 聽Help Fern Creek Elementary School in Orlando by organizing classrooms, sorting books and school supplies, and beautifying the school鈥檚 edible garden.

    • In addition, members of the 性视界传媒 Alumni Chapter of Chicago will volunteer with the Chicago Parks District. Activities will include planting gardens, mulching trees and other various park improvements.
