Day of service brightens Phoenix neighborhood
Through more than 800 community partners, our students give more than 600,000 hours of service in the community. They are part of the Community Solutions Corps, working collaboratively to affect change. The College Day of Service is just one example, bringing together more than 150 ASU students, faculty and staff to clean alleys and repaint murals in the Westwood community of central Phoenix.
