Fifth anniversary of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s #TransformNB on October 9

On an October afternoon in 2014, thousands of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ students and staff fanned out across the province to support community projects. It was the launch of the Robertson Institute for Community Leadership and the beginning of an Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ tradition that has resulted in members of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ family contributing 50,000 volunteer hours to more than 900 community projects through nine service days.

On Wednesday, October 9, the students and staff at New Brunswick Community College (Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ) will celebrate five years of giving back to their communities on the first of two designated Service Days planned for this academic year, and the tenth Service Day in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s history.

Service Day brings together Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ students, employees, Board members and alumni to participate in service learning and volunteering to help community organizations across New Brunswick.

Service Day has become one of the foremost annual events for , an essential aspect of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Advantage, creating a culture of community leadership and service at the College.

Follow the Robertson Institute on Twitter, , to see how our students and staff are Transforming New Brunswick.

A list of some of the many projects our staff and students will be participating in tomorrow follows. If you are interested in covering a story in your region, please contact:
