SPRINGFIELD – Wittenberg students, faculty and staff are teaming up with members of the Springfield community to make the university’s eighth annual Celebrate Service event on Saturday, April 18, the biggest and best yet.

Led by student-organizers Lily Pate, class of 2009 from Gahanna, Ohio, Emily Rudman, class of 2010 from West Lafayette, Ind., and Kristian Kovacs, class of 2009 from Gahanna, Ohio, with support from the rest of the staff, Wittenberg’s Office of Community Service has organized a program to direct an anticipated 70 participants, who will branch out to five locations across the city to participate in service projects. The 2009 theme is “Lend a Hand, Leave Your Mark,” and organizers are working hard to ensure that the participants’ efforts will have an impact on multiple aspects of the Springfield community.

“We will be focusing our efforts on service that benefits sites that work with youth or involving youth from the community in the service with us,” said Director of Community Service Kristen Collier. “We have worked with South Fountain Preservation, Inc., for three years on beautification projects, and this is the last year for a large tree-planting in the neighborhood. It only makes sense that we continue our tradition of working with them in their final stage of the project.”
