Eastern Student Jamie Perry of Wilton Recognized at Service Expo

The Center for Community Engagement (CCE) at Eastern Connecticut State University hosted its annual Service Expo and Awards on April 18. The event recognized the many service projects and students who have made a commitment to volunteerism in the Windham area, Eastern's home community.

Among those honored was Jamie Perry '19 of Wilton, who majors in Sociology. Perry has been a regular volunteer with the Windham Tech tutoring program.

The Windham Tech tutoring program received the "Putting Liberal Arts into Action" award at the expo.

Hundreds of Eastern students volunteer thousands of hours in the Windham area every academic year. At the expo, student leaders staffed posters describing more than 50 community programs spanning a variety of causes - working with children in afterschool programs, volunteering at the local homeless shelter, assisting the elderly at a rehabilitation center and more.
