VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS FROM EAGLE VISION

MOREHEAD, Ky. -- The Morehead State athletic department completed 1,030 hours of community service during a recent 10-day period.

All staff and students completed clean-up projects at parks, helped at donation centers, conducted youth clinics, visited nursing homes, worked at churches and schools and finished off the week by donating leftover food from student-athlete fun day to Christian Social Services.

"Community service week was an overwhelming success," Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Services and Senior Woman Administrator Sara Larson said. "I am very proud we exceeded our goal, and the Morehead community took notice. We received a countless number of thank you comments from people on campus and in our community. I want to thank our entire department for participating in this total group effort. We plan to take on this endeavor again in the future and look forward to serving the community even more."
