Four hundred seventy-four students, 374 undergraduate, 94 graduate, and six associate degree students, will be candidates for graduation at Viterbo’s spring commencement ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 9 at the La Crosse Center.
We need everyone to participate. What are you doing to help your community, church, school, favorite non-profit, or cause? Coaching little league, helping a neighbor, bell ringing for Salvation Army, running/walking a 5K for charity, or participating in Viterbo campus/organization volunteer activities…all great examples of service that you can log. Volunteerism and service can be formal or informal; you be the judge. When you are giving your time you are contributing to the common good.
