On the first National Day of Service and Remembrance this Friday, Sept. 11, scores of Denison University students will go out to make a difference in Newark. Working through Denison's Alford Center for Service-Learning, the students will focus on literacy efforts, reading to children in Newark public schools and the Head Start program. In addition, Denison students will clean up the grounds at the Newark Public Library.

For more information or to arrange an interview, contact Kelly Ficker, the Denison University VISTA volunteer, at fickerk@dension.edu or 740-587-8618.
