NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University women's basketball team visited with students at the New Horizons School in New Haven on Thursday. The Owls' student-athletes spoke at length with the youngsters regarding a variety of topics, including goal setting, decision making and the challenges of everyday life.

This event is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in during the 2009-10 academic year as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.

Initiated in September, 2008, the 'Community Service Cup' program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered nearly 2,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2008-09 academic year.
