Hawk Week is just the beginning of opportunities to connect with us this fall- read on for more information!

Join the KU Center for Service Learning for our Pathways to Service Scavenger Hunt!

Throughout Hawk Week, explore the service-related student organizations, offices, and activities available to you on campus and in the Lawrence community.

Between August 22 and 27, accomplish as many of our pre-determined "tasks" as you can to receive various levels of CSL promotional items. There will be featured activities and tasks each day, which will serve as opportunities to meet other students participating in the Scavenger Hunt as well as CSL staff and student leaders.

If you're interested in participating in volunteering, advocacy, and other forms of civic action, this program is a great way to familiarize yourself with the variety of opportunities available to you while geographically orienting yourself to campus and the community!
