Union Highlight Important Dates Let's take a moment to highlight the KU Memorial Union at the University of Kansas for their service project, The Big Event.

The Big Event is KU’s largest single day of service. This year, students, faculty and staff had the opportunity to give back to the Lawrence community by completing yard work or outdoor activities typically for the elderly/former professors/staff, recreational parks, churches, and community centers. The Big Event happens annually with thousands of students participating each year.
