Students Advocating Volunteer Involvement (SAVI):

Getting the college experience not only involves going to class and participating in events, it is also about volunteering.  What better way to get involved than to give back.  SAVI has continuous drives such as blood, toys, and clothing drives.  We host volunteer opportunities for those students who are eager to give back to the community and help those in need.
