NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Student-athletes and coaches from the Southern Connecticut State University men's basketball team traveled to the Church Street School in Hamden on Wednesday for an interactive academic program with students at the school. The student-athletes and coaches read books and fielded questions from students in several grades at the school.

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 volunteered more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2010-11 academic year.
