Never Forget 911
Recognizing the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, Harding University has been chosen to document volunteers for a nationwide effort in identifying more than a million volunteers between now and 9/11. We invite you, your organizations, classes, churches, schools, employers, employees, civic groups, etc. to be a part of the largest days of service in American history. Pay tribute to those who lost their lives by doing a good deed or service project. No deed is too small!
Please read the attached PDFs below and think about ways to get involved at Harding with students and in your circles of influence.
