Community Service is an integral part of 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËն’s student, faculty and staff campus experience. The University is involved in many facets of the community including health, sports, arts, and much more. This involvement teaches all members of the Dolphin family the importance of giving back to the community and serving as responsible citizens. 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶ contributed over 30,000 volunteer hours in the 2015/16 academic year, drawn from combined efforts of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We also provide support to Northeast Florida non-profit organizations by hosting them on campus at no cost. In the past two years, 91´óÉñèÏÈÉúǧÈËÕ¶ has provided their facilities to over 50 non-profit organizations for events in our campus.
