Day of Service, Day of Impact
Alabama A&M University students, faculty, staff and community volunteers took the
University motto--"Service is Sovereignty"--to heart Saturday, April 1, when Service
and Learning staffers--facilitated by Monica Clarke, with assistance from staffer
Deborah Hill--sent hundreds of student volunteers on assignments throughout the county.

A welcomed addition to classroom learning, the " Day of Service" event allows students
hands-on service to those in need and to place in action the AAMU motto. The intent,
noted Hill, is to partner with community stakeholders and "to make a positive impact"
on the surrounding communities, while also allowing students to network with community
leaders.
"The purpose of Day of Service is to meet and work with leaders, their agencies, and
provide service opportunities for AAMU students to offer assistance to those on campus
and in the local communities," Hill explained.
Listed among the project sites were five Title I schools, such as Rolling Hills Elementary School, Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School, Montview Elementary School, McNair Junior High School and Dr. Mae Jemison High School.
Other project sites for the AAMU Day of Service AAMU were RiahRose Home for Children, Huntsville
