People

The People’s track invites a limited amount of students, staff, and faculty on regional trips to learn about our local history and to discuss how that influences our present and future lives. These trips are offered in collaboration with the Division of Access, Engagement, and Success.

Possibilities

The Possibilities Track brings students to organizations across the city to help work toward the greater good. At these events students spend their time volunteering alongside local leaders and active community members. In the 2018-2019 academic year Into the ROC preformed over 1,550 hours of volunteer service equaling an economic impact of $46,800.
