About
Islanders, it’s almost time to roll up our sleeves and help out our local communities with BIG Event: Alumni Day of Service!
BIG EVENT is a one-day event that gives our Alumni and current students an opportunity to connect with and give back to their specific communities. You may have participated as a student in BIG EVENT before. Beginning in 2021, the Islander Alumni Association is partnering with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to expand the reach of our Islanders across the state.
Help Dallas County fight COVID-19, by directing people at the Fair Park COVID Vaccine Mega Center. Volunteers will direct people around Lot 15, handle paperwork, drive golf carts, direct cars + more as needed.
Islanders around Texas will be picking up litter at beaches and parks, assisting at COVID-19 vaccination sites and volunteering at local food banks. Volunteer sites will be available in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.
