Are you looking for service opportunities? Do you want to earn more Honors points while helping the community?
As you may know, each year your HSG Service Chairs plan volunteer opportunities for Honors students interested in community service. We are very excited to offer 3 different opportunities available to you this Fall quarter! Grab a friend and do some good for your fellow Chicagoans!
Below you will find more information about how to sign up for these community service opportunities. Remember, you will earn an Honors point for each hour you volunteer! To record your points, proof of service hours completed must be submitted to Priscilla Bautista at pbautist@depaul.edu. Please email Priscilla with any questions you have about Honors Points and recording service hours completed.
