Jackson State University is hosting Salvation Army Week from 12-4 p.m. March 24-25 and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. March 26-28.
All graduating students for May 2014 are required to complete 120 hours of service to graduate, and transfer students must complete 60 hours.
Salvation Army Week offers students four hours of daily community service totaling 20 hours that week. JSU will provide daily transportation for a maximum of 56 students. Students will be picked up in the Student Center parking lot. Students will complete a community service form to properly record their hours on their transcript.
This is one of many initiatives that the university hosts to help students fulfill this requirement. The Alice V. Harden Center for Service and Community Engaged Learning works with more than 400 agency partners to help students complete service hours. Students wishing to complete their hours outside of the agency list must go through a approval process.
