NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Southern Connecticut State University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee recently created letters that will be sent abroad as part of the efforts of "Letters in Motion", an organization that is dedicated to raising awareness and providing opportunity for orphans worldwide.

This event is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes take part in on an annual basis. SCSU student-athletes volunteered more than 4,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2014-15 academic year.
