Students Rob Wilkinson (Community Health Sciences), Scott Plugers (Accounting) and Natalie Meza (Popular Culture) were among the volunteers who attended a recent appreciation event.

Brock volunteers have contributed more than 65,000 hours in the past year, and those hours were celebrated recently at an appreciation event held by Student Life and Community Experience (SLCE).

The April 8 event featured refreshments and displays of some of the good work Brock students and staff have done in the community. That includes everything from preparing meals to gardening, said Kristen Smith, manager of student and community outreach.

National Volunteer Week is April 10 to 16. For more information on volunteer opportunities, visit Student and Community Outreach.
