Project Affect

September 2013

11:00am - 3:00pm

WKU Centennial Mall

The WKU ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships and the WKU Institute for Citizenship & Social Responsibility sponsors an awareness event called Project Affect each year during Constitution Week. Project Affect is a campus and community engagement fair that offers information on how to get involved through service, as well as engages visitors in hands-on activities reflective of different causes. Countless students came out the event and 24 organizations averaged speaking to 63 students each last year. We look forward to an even greater turnout this year.

Project Affect is coordinated by the ALIVE Center for Community Partnerships and WKU Institute for Citizenship & Social Responsibility.

Additional sponsors include WKU Independent Learning and the WKU Nonprofit Administration program.
