Inauguration Day of Service

Faithful to USF’s heritage and central to Dr. Bradfield’s personal calling, the University integrated service into the inauguration week festivities.  More than 350 faculty, staff and students participated in Inauguration Day of Service on September 6. Together, they made 45 fleece tie-blankets, wrote 110 letters to service members, assembled 425 activity packs for hospitalized children, labeled 1000 envelopes, created 100 informational folders and created dozens of thank you notes for mentors.

USF partnered with 7 non-profit organizations that day including:

  • Alpha Center
  • Lutheran Social Services
  • SIMBA Educational Ministries
  • Avera Children's Hospital
  • Operation Gratitude
  • Children's Inn
  • The Banquet
