(Morrisville, NY – Aug. 25, 2013) Morrisville State College fall student-athletes took a break during preseason workouts last Thursday to assist with new student move in day on the campus, kicking off the 2013-14 athletic department community service efforts for the upcoming year.
Student-athletes from the volleyball, women’s and men’s soccer programs offered assistance unloading moving trucks and helping new students move items into their dorm rooms, as Morrisville State welcomed the class of 2017.
As part of a continuing community service program within the athletic department, student-athletes are involved in a variety of service programs, benefiting both the campus and surrounding communities.
Last year the Mustangs were involved in more than 20 community service programs in the local and surrounding communities, logging over 1,500 hours of service.
