The Volunteer Fair, part of MTSU Week of Welcome activities for new, transfer and returning students, offers opportunities to learn more information about volunteer efforts in the community.

The participating organizations included the Beesley Animal Humane Society, the Raider Health Corps, UT Extension, the Salvation Army, Abundant Life ministry, Relay for Life, Journeys in Community Living, and Bridges, which serves hearing-impaired people.

Students will have another opportunity to learn about campus groups and their projects at the annual Student Organization Fair as Week of Welcome continues.

The Student Organization Fair is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, in the Student Union Commons.

The annual MTSU Department Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, in the same location. It provides students with information about services provided by departments all over campus.
