NEW HAVEN, Conn. – For the third consecutive year, Southern Connecticut State University student-athletes will conduct a weekly academic program with students at the Clinton Avenue School in New Haven. This year's sessions began on Friday, as members of the field hockey and women's soccer teams worked with fourth graders at the school. This week's subject matter included mathematics work in small group sessions.

This program is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in during the 2010-11 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 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2009-10 academic year.
