More than 250 alumni, parents, and friends in 18 cities volunteered to help their home communities with gardening, tree planting, collecting and sorting food and supplies, and taking part in other service projects to mark Rochester鈥檚 second annual Global Day of Service in September. Modeled on Wilson Day, the University鈥檚 annual day of community service for first-year students, the day is organized by alumni volunteers who work with local community organizations and nonprofit agencies to marshal people to help with select projects.

Drawing inspiration from a famous saying of George Eastman鈥檚鈥斺�淲hat we do during our work hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines who we are鈥濃�攙olunteers shared the spirit of Meliora with communities in New York City, Baltimore, San Francisco, Phoenix, Denver, Rochester, Boston, and many others.
