Cornell Student United Way Volunteers are dedicated to helping the community. From a range of service activities and fundraising efforts including an annual A Cappella Concert, Mortar Board gala events, the Stephen E. Garner Day of Caring food and personal care items drive, the Stuff the Bus School Supply Drive, Student Fraternity Group engagement, and the annual Duff Ball, Cornell students show what it is to LIVE UNITED.
Cornell students are taking a lead role in the development of the Volunteer...LIVE UNITED Center through UWTC by elevating the service component of their work and encouraging volunteerism. In addition to fundraising, and service, students have developed creative marketing practices.
