JACKSON, Tenn.Nov. 3, 2014 — About 750 ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ University students, faculty and staff members will participate in 50 projects in Jackson and West Tennessee Nov. 4 as part of ΒιΆΉΚΣơ’s 12th annual β€œCampus and Community: A Day of Remembrance and Service.”

The event is an opportunity for ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ to show its appreciation to the community for its assistance after tornadoes hit the campus in 2002, 2003 and 2008. ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ cancels most classes on this day each year to allow the university community to participate in projects at such places as local schools, churches, nursing homes and social organizations.

This year’s Campus and Community activities will begin with a chapel service at 8:30 a.m. At 9 a.m., student groups will depart to their assigned projects, most of which will be completed by mid-afternoon. A complete list of projects can be seen at .
