NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes from the Southern Connecticut State University men's swimming and diving and women's basketball programs worked with youngsters at the Clinton Avenue School in New Haven on Wednesday. SCSU student-athletes worked with first and second grade students at the school on reading, grammar and rhyming and vocabulary review in both small and large group sessions.

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.
