Community engagement is an important component of the experience as a Division II student-athlete. The Southern Connecticut State University women’s basketball team continues to be active in the local community with various ventures.
All intercollegiate programs at SCSU participate in the Tim Greer Insurance Agency, Inc. Community Service Cup, which provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered nearly 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2012-13 academic year.
Among the events that the team and coaching staff participated in during the past calendar year:
• Worked with students at the Beecher School in New Haven on academic coursework. • Assisted with academic work at the Clinton Avenue School in New Haven. • Participated in campus-wide efforts such as Southern Day of Service, The Big Event and Friends of Rudolph. • Assisted at the Wallingford Boys and Girls’ Club ‘Sports Night’ event. • Took part in volunteer efforts with the New Haven Labor Day Road Race. • Hosted a clinic with students at the Church Street School. • Served as clinicians at the annual ‘Girls and Women in Sports’ Day event that attracts nearly 200 youngsters.
The Owls instruct youngsters at the annual Girls and Women in Sports Day event.
