9/11 Day of Service hbruc3 Thu, 09/04/2025 - 11:37

The 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance invites us to honor the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on September 11th by uniting in acts of kindness and service. Born from the vision of David Paine and Jay Winuk—whose brother Glenn, an attorney and volunteer firefighter, was killed while responding at the World Trade Center—this day transforms tragedy into a movement for good.

We’ll gather to support Operation: Care and Comfort, continuing their mission to provide essential support and comfort to our service members. Together, we’ll stand behind those who protect our nation and show that even in the face of loss, compassion can prevail. Join us and help make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who sacrifice so much for our freedom as we make care kits and notes of encouragement for our current military troops.

Join us on Thursday, September 11, in the Student Union Ballroom. All UIS students, faculty and staff are invited to be a part of this memorable event. Volunteers are need in 30 minute shifts. Walk ins are welcome.

Help provide a warm welcome to new students this fall by filling out Welcome Cards. Stop by the Volunteer & Civic Engagement Center (Student Union 103) and pick up as many as you would like to complete. We have a goal of 200!

Take them back to your office, or stop by and fill them out in the Student Union. Students have enjoyed receiving these the past two years, and we would love to have your help in making it happen again this year.

Please return completed cards by Thursday, July 27 to ensure they are included in new student goodie bags.

Additionally, you can sign up to help assemble bags in the LRH Great Room on July 27 at 1 p.m. Come help us reach our goal of assembling 200 goodie bags for New Student Move-In. We would love to see you there!
