Big Event

Griffons came together for our 4th annual participation in The Big Event last week picking up litter in the area surrounding campus.

The Big Event was started in 1982 at Texas A&M and has become the largest one-day student-run service project in the nation. Students on over 100 campuses come together to serve their communities.

We are so proud of all the Griffons who participated and helped clean up a piece of our community!
