During the past two weeks, 120 incoming Georgia Southern University freshmen did volunteer work for nine nonprofit agencies and six schools. Their tasks included moving furniture, digging a ditch, painting, boxing food at the Food Bank and accompanying foster children on a field trip. It was all part of BUILD, a program of the university’s Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement.
