90 students. 10 service projects. One day of making a difference across the Des Moines metro!

As part of the Student Leadership Retreat last Monday, students stepped off campus and into the community, volunteering their time and talents with local organizations. From serving others to strengthening our community, our students showed what leadership looks like in action.

We’re proud of the impact they made and grateful to the organizations who welcomed our Vikings!
