What is The Big Event?
The Big Event is an annual service project where we bring roughly 10,000 student volunteers together on our "One Big Day of Thanks". Our mission is to say "Thank You" to those who live in our community and welcome us back each year. They put up with a lot in order for us to have our university here, and they welcome us into their community with open arms. This is our way, as a campus, to say thank you to all those who make the New River Valley area our home.
If you would like to learn more about The Big Event, or the application process, please attend one of our Interest Meetings. These will be held Wednesday Oct. 2nd from 6:00-7:00 pm in Torg 1060 and Thursday Oct. 10th from 8:30-9:30 in Torg 1060.
