NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes from the Southern Connecticut State University men's and women's swimming and diving programs took part in the ninth annual Comcast Cares Day earlier at two sites in New Haven. This event, which corresponds with the NCAA Division II community engagement initiative, brought the Owls to assist with projects at the New Haven Boys and Girls Club and the St. Paul/St. James Episcopal Church.

This program 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 have volunteered more than 2,500 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2009-10 academic year.
