On Friday morning, Oct. 22, students, faculty, and staff of Bronx Community College will collaborate in a community service event dedicated to cleaning up what they describe as one of the most beautiful campuses in The City University of New York college network.

 

Volunteers should gather under the Meister overhang at 8:30 a.m. to check-in and receive a team assignment to a designated area on and around the campus perimeter. Teams will set out by 9 a.m. to tackle litter and improve the campus grounds. According to the organizers, all volunteers must be in compliance with the CUNY/BCC vaccination requirement or Cleared4 testing protocol to gain access to campus, and all visitors must follow the CUNY visitor’s policy, which can be read here.

 

Dressing for the weather, with gloves and properly rugged footwear, is strongly recommended. Supplies, including gloves, bags, grabbers and rakes, will be available.

 

BCC president, Thomas A. Isekenegbe, had some words of encouragement for volunteers ahead of the event, saying, “Your participation and civic engagement in this effort demonstrates outstanding school spirit, and a commitment to our environment as well.”

 

Lunch will be provided to all volunteers after the clean-up effort. To volunteer, register here.
