NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Southern Connecticut State University women's lacrosse team recently conducted a coat drive that resulted in the donation of more than 100 items. The coats will be donated to the area needy during the winter season.

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 2,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2015-16 academic year.
