USciences Youth Health and Science Fair: Health, science and wellness activities geared toward elementary and middle school students. This free event also includes a basketball clinic with the USciences men's basketball team. The event will be held on USciences campus in the Athletic/Recreation Center, 45th and Woodland Avenue, 1-3 p.m.
USciences students, faculty and staff were encouraged to volunteer to participate in the day of service including educational activities and volunteer opportunities. All participants should check-in from 10-10:30 a.m. in the atrium of the McNeil Science and Technology Center (STC).
To honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the University community will be united for a day of service dedicated to bettering the community, empowering individuals, and bridging barriers. While classes have been canceled during this time, MLK Day of Service is a day on, not a day off.
