irst-year students took the plunge into service and volunteerism on August 29, 2011, in what has become the annual rite of passage known as Community Plunge. The event provides a number of volunteer opportunities and Centenarians provided much-needed help at sites that included Camp Bernie, the Hackettstown Public Library, Warren Haven Nursing Home, America’s Grow-A-Row and more.
Community
In addition to furthering the College’s commitment to serving others, Community Plunge is a day when many lifelong friendships are formed. “It’s a great way for students to get acquainted with the community they’re helping in, but it’s also an opportunity for students to meet people and get to know the Centenary community as well,” said Josh Ecochard, Coordinator of Community Service.
