<p class="MsoNormal">The Office of Intercultural Engagement & Leadership wants you to be empowered to create change and continue to serve! COVID-19 has put a variety of constraints in how we can engage with each other and engage with our community through service,
but that doesn’t mean that you can’t give. There are a variety of creative and safe ways that you can continue to engage during this time. Here are a few events our office is hosting this semester along with additional resources and guidelines (see attached)
for Volunteering in the Time of COVID-19, Hosting Donation Drives or Fundraisers, and How to Find and Track Volunteer Opportunities via Givepulse.
