University of Wisconsin-Madison freshmen will have a new opportunity to perform community service projects before they begin classes.
Student move-in began Thursday, and student orientation begins on Tuesday. On Wednesday, up to 79 students will have the opportunity to participate in the UW-Madison’s Day of Caring.
The event will be held in conjunction with the United Way, which is holding community Days of Caring this week. This is the first year the Days of Caring will be a part of freshman orientation, although the event has long involved volunteers helping out in the community.
