They completed more than 1.450 hours of community service work on a wide variety of projects.\"Big<\/a>\u201cToday we get to do something special for our community,\u201d MU President Fran Hendricks told the students before they headed out on their assignments. \u201cThrough your efforts I hope that you will inspire others to see the meaning of service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The volunteers completed projects in the Mansfield and Wellsboro area including cleaning streets and trails, parks and along highways in the Mansfield area.<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/a>They also helped at HAVEN of Tioga County, Animal Care Sanctuary, Mill Cove Environmental Area, a chicken barbeque held by the Mansfield University Student Veterans Organization, accepted students day on campus and many other places.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could not be prouder to be a Mountie,\u201d Frank Crofchick, MU dean of Students and Big Event coordinator, said. \u201cThis is not just about our university, this is about a family, the Mansfield family, and I could not be more proud of all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
