September, 2012
Greetings!

Here at Rhode Island Campus Compact we're looking forward to the wealth of opportunities that come with the start of a new academic year. In this issue, we'll say thank you to all who came to support our summer gathering, welcome new members of our network, and celebrate the service done by the Scholarships for Service students and AmeriCorps*VISTAs on the 9/11 Day of Service.

As a Rhode Island Campus Compact stakeholder, we hope you enjoy these periodic updates about RICC and ask that you take a moment to fill out the SStakeholder Survey.

September 11th Day of Remembrance
Scholarships for Service Students and VISTAs spend a day of service at the Bristol Veterans Home   

"
Projects like 9/11 Service Day allow us to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by veterans, and provide an opportunity to give back."
- Mike Steiner, SFS AmeriCorps Student Veteran. 
 
Through a September 11th Service Grant, RI Campus Compact hosted a Beautification Project at the Bristol Veterans Home.  21 volunteers, including SFS Student Veterans and VISTA Members, crafted walkways and rebuilt a courtyard at the Home.   Learn more about Scholarships for Service!
