In keeping with the tradition of our founder, the Rev. Edgar Tufts, and in the spirit of our motto, “In the Mountains, Of the Mountains, For the Mountains,” a day is set aside each year for service.
This year marks the 14th annual day of service and to celebrate, we are heading off campus to serve our community in Avery and Watauga counties. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in this unique campus tradition.
