\"Community<\/a>Wilson Day<\/strong> is a rite of autumn for first-year students at the University, and a big part of their orientation to college. The annual day of community service places students at nearly 100 agencies throughout the city of Rochester to complete service projects including classroom preparation, landscaping, painting, and decorating.<\/p>\n

Sponsored by the Rochester Center for Community Leadership, Wilson Day is a chance for students to visit and help out at local schools, churches, nursing homes, museums, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilson Day is designed to help students\u00a0learn that community engagement will be a significant part of their undergraduate experience at the URochester,\u201d says Glenn Cerosaletti, assistant dean and director of the RCCL. “Wilson Day is just the beginning:\u00a0 we have an array of opportunities for them to connect with and\u00a0strengthen the community,\u00a0while deepening and\u00a0contextualizing their learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
