USU Volunteering
learning to care for those in harm's way through service in our community
Volunteer Coordinators
The Volunteer Coordinators manage the USU monthly volunteering digest, a listserve for volunteer activities, and website. Our goal is to promote and facilitate volunteering at USU across the School of Medicine, Graduate Education Office, and Graduate School of Nursing. We want it to be as easy, meaningful, and fun for you to give back to the community as possible. We are your resource if you want help getting yourself or your student organization involved - either through starting new, or maintaining ongoing, community partnerships!
