Washington University in St. Louis will host a University-wide Public Service Fair from 3-5 p.m. Tuesday, September 23. This event will feature more than 60 non-profit organizations seeking volunteers and interns for a variety of opportunities. Sponsored by the Gephardt Institute for Public Service and the Community Service Office, the fair marks the first time that community agencies will be gathered on campus to meet with interested students, faculty and staff.

The success of past WUSTL debates has depended largely on the tireless work of numerous student volunteers. Hundreds of students have volunteered over the years to lead campus tours, assist with ticketing procedues, help national news media and work in the media filing center, among other jobs. Volunteering provides students excellent work experience and a behind-the-scenes view of what it takes to run a debate.
