Step Forward Day is a tradition on the MU campus. It is a one day service event geared toward new students and freshmen. New students and freshmen have the opportunity to learn about and participate in community service projects through the Columbia community. Students meet at Tiger Plaza on the morning of Saturday August 23rd, 2008, are then bused to a local service agency, volunteer for a few hours and then are bused back to Tiger Plaza.* All students received a free t-shirt and complementary breakfast. The event is free and open to all freshmen and new students. This is a wonderful way to become familiar with the City of Columbia and to expose one's self to volunteerism in one's community. Community service is valued at MU and Step Forward Day upholds that value.
