Delaware State University's Inspire Scholarship recipients as well
as other students put action behind the institution's core values of "community"
and "outreach" as they engaged in community service projects at five locations
statewide as part of DSU's Inspired Day of Service" on April 6. More than 200
students participated in the community service outreach. Most painted, cleaned,
performed routine maintenance and landscaping in teams at the East Side Charter
School of Wilmington, the Newark Day Nursery and Children's Center, and Boys
& Girls Clubs in Dover and Oak Orchard. Another team of student spent the day working at the Food Bank of
Milford where they packaged food for the coming week.
The day began with a 9 a.m. opening ceremony on the DSU campus in
the main gymnasium area of the Wellness and Recreation Center. U.S. Sen. Thomas
R. Carper, Lt. Gov. John Carney, state Sen. Brian Bushweller, state Rep. Darryl
Scott took part in the ceremony before the students boarded their buses to
travel to the five work locations. The DSU Inspired Day of Service was supported this year by
United Way of Delaware.
