Foster Parent’s Night Out and Kid’s Day Out are two amazing service opportunities we offer right here on campus! These events are designed to give foster parents and caregivers of children with disabilities a much-needed break, while providing the kids with a safe, fun and encouraging environment.
If you want to volunteer, you will have to complete the training from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18 in Canyon Commons 101.
As a volunteer, you’ll have the chance to be more than just a helping hand—you’ll be a mentor, a friend, and a positive role model. Whether it’s playing games, doing crafts, or simply spending time together, your presence can make a lasting impact. These moments of connection often grow into meaningful relationships that remind each child that they are valued, supported and loved.
Not only is this a chance to serve; it’s also an opportunity to grow personally as you step into the lives of children in our community and show them what it means to be cared for. To sign up, fill out this volunteer interest form.

Campus Public Safety (CPS) has received several reports of stolen e-scooters, bikes and other personal property since the beginning of the school year. We strongly urge all community members to take proactive steps to secure their belongings and lock their vehicles (and in the case of bikes and scooters, lock them to bike racks).
Thefts are often crimes of opportunity. By using a high-quality lock and parking your scooter in a well-lit, visible area, you can deter theft.
To minimize the risk, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our campus safe (and ensuring that you find your belongings where you left them).
