Service Week is a week where business school students volunteer at various organizations and make an impact on the community! It runs from October 24 – November 1, 2020. During this week, you can volunteer in various virtual ways at any time. Submit “proof” (pictures, etc.) of what you do in order to earn points. Each point will result in one entry of your name into a raffle. The more points you earn, the higher chance you have of winning one of our PRIZES! (Note: there is no minimum or maximum amount of points required to be entered in the drawing)
See below for a list of activities we have identified, along with the point value for each. The ALC is open to other volunteering efforts too — please email us at alc@wsb.wisc.edu if the activity you are interested in doing is not listed below. We will assign point values based on the activity.
Also refer to the list of Student Organizations below that will grant a membership point for your participation in Service Week!
