Barton College students and professors set aside books, and campus staff members and area alumni stepped away from desks, for the annual “Day of Service and Engagement” on campus and in the Wilson community.
Begun in 2008, this campus initiative supports Barton’s vision for its graduates to be “well-prepared for life and for success in their chosen careers because they will possess a lifelong commitment to learning, service, and achievement.” This well-established program has become one of the most highly anticipated annual events for the campus community.
Through participation in these one-day projects, Barton hopes to provide its students with a foundation for developing a deeper appreciation for service learning and a stronger sense of civic responsibility, as well as meeting needs within the Wilson community. Developing a lifelong commitment to service is part of the “Barton Experience,” and Barton College’s Day of Service and Engagement provides an intentional opportunity for the campus community to serve its hometown community of Wilson.
