Kick off your Scholars journey by giving back! Service Day is a 25+ year tradition where all first-year Scholars join their program for a day of community service. It’s a chance to meet your peers, connect with faculty, and make an impact—like Data Justice students who’ll help care for local parks in MoCo and PG County.

🔹 Start the day at Yahentimitsi Dining Hall

  • Resident students: Arrive by 7:00 a.m. for breakfast and grab your lunch to go

  • Commuters: Pick up a meal ticket at Cumberland Hall check-in, then head to Yahentimitsi

🔹 What to Bring

  • Your Scholars t-shirt and clothes that can get dirty

  • Closed-toe shoes (no sandals or Crocs)

  • Water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent, any needed meds

  • A backpack to carry lunch and supplies

  • Face mask (if required by your site)
