CSO Announces Events

Members of the Civic Service Organization spoke in Hyde Chapel on October 23 reminding students of upcoming service opportunities. CSO is on pace to break the 6,000 total service hours mark set last year, despite no service requirement for students. The organization already set a record with 307 students participating in this year’s Service Day in September.
Seniors Charlie Bragg, Tucker Davis, Wills Frazer, Wilkes Gowen (CSO president), Joey Paul, and Paxton Silver encouraged other students to join them at events throughout the city this fall and winter.

“It is clear that we have benefited as much or more from these interactions than the people we served,” Gowen said. “Memphis is a better place because of your dedicated service, but our lives are better as well. We have new friends, new experiences, new ideas, a greater sense of purpose, and more compassion for those around us.”

Upcoming Events: 
  • Dec. 6: Making sandwiches and sack lunches during Upper and Lower School lunchtime to distribute at More Than A Meal.
  • Dec. 8: Cooking and serving Sunday lunch to the residents of the Salvation Army Purdue Center of Hope.
  • Dec. 23: Working the Mid-South Food Bank Distribution on the MUS campus.
