NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes from Southern Connecticut State University worked with students at the Beecher School in New Haven on Tuesday. Members of the field hockey and women's basketball teams took part in today's session, which included language arts and mathematics work in small groups.

This program, which will continue throughout the 2010-11 academic year, is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in 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.
