After eating breakfast, changing <\/span>into their green<\/span> volunteer shirts and watching a performance by the Sugar Mocs, <\/span>members<\/span> of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga community loaded into buses to go out into the Chattanooga community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was all part of United Way of Greater Chattanooga\u2019s Day of Caring on Friday, Sept. 19, which <\/span>brought<\/span> volunteers to locations in Chattanooga to provide support for local nonprofits, schools and community organizations through service projects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDay of Caring is a day where the community comes together to support our local nonprofits, and UTC is a part of it because we really want to encourage our students to also be a part of this community,\u201d said Bryant Fairley, UTC\u2019s director of engagement. \u201cMany of our students are not from Chattanooga. This is a great way for them to see the organizations that support this community and really be a part of contributing to it.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, UTC volunteers headed to four sites: Siskin Children\u2019s Institute, the J.A. Henry YMCA, CHATT Foundation and Warner Park.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the buses departed, Vice Chancellor for Access and Engagement Stacy Lightfoot thanked participants for dedicating their time and energy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou all are going to be a few of nearly a thousand people across the city who are dedicating today to serve our community, and that number alone is powerful,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat\u2019s even more powerful is the spirit behind it because we aren\u2019t here out of obligation. We are here out of compassion and out of a belief that our time and our presence and our hands can make a difference.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lightfoot reminded the crowd that their efforts could lead to change in areas they may never see.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you never see the ripple, trust that it is there,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause today someone\u2019s burden will be lighter, someone\u2019s hope will be brighter and someone\u2019s tomorrow will be different because you showed up.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the group were several first-year <\/span>UTC<\/span> students excited to show up for their new community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley Acampora, a freshman interior architecture major from Thompson\u2019s Station, Tennessee, said her service-focused class gave her the opportunity to join.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like being able to help in ways that I can,\u201d Acampora said. \u201cSpecifically with animals, but if I can help people too, it\u2019s still amazing.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex Davis, a freshman electrical engineering major from Memphis, said he learned about the event through his professor, Dr. Raga Ahmed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted to do something around the community just to help around,\u201d Davis said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Graduate students also joined the volunteer efforts\u2014including <\/span>Aastha<\/span> Chakraborty and <\/span>Justise<\/span> Griggs, both second-year students in UTC\u2019s Master of Industrial-Organizational Psychology program.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chakraborty, originally from India, first participated in Day of Caring last year through her graduate assistantship.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed myself a lot,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were making cards for older people and that was such a heartwarming thing to do. I was like, \u2018I can definitely take time out of my schedule to do things like this, whatever opportunity I get.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s perfect because UTC is taking care of it. You don\u2019t really have to coordinate anything. You just have to show up.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Griggs, who is from Birmingham, <\/span>Alabama<\/span>, said she was excited to participate in <\/span>Day of Caring for<\/span> the first time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always down to volunteer and help out wherever I can,\u201d she said. \u201cIt seemed like something nice to do.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lightfoot explained to students, faculty and staff that the day\u2019s impact carries more meaning than they may realize.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs you go out today into my community\u2014I was born and raised here\u2014and now your community, I want you to carry this with you,\u201d Lightfoot said. \u201cWhat you do matters. What you give matters. Who you are matters.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
