The day began at 9 a.m. with a kick-off ceremony in the Wellness and Recreation Center on campus. More than 300 student volunteers attended the kick-off along with DSU President Harry L. Williams U.S. Sen. Tom Carper and other University officials.

The students did community service projects at the Bellevue Community Center and West End Neighborhood House, both in Wilmington ; College Road in Dover,; at the Food Bank Delaware facility in Milford; with Habitat for Humanity projects in Ellendale and Georgetown; as well as for the Feeding the Needy project.

DSU Inspire Scholarship students are required to do 10 hours of community service per semester. The Inspired Day of Service provides them with an opportunity to fulfill some of those hours as well as reflect DSU’s core values of “Community” and “Outreach.” Non-Inspire Scholarship students also participate in the event.
