The LEAPS committee will meet with the city of Fort Worth in the next couple of weeks to decide on a specific area of the community to focus on for this fall's community service day, Thompson said. One of their biggest goals is to have students participate in continued service so they can remain connected with the community as well as learn something while giving back.
Westfield said the committee will meet in the next couple of weeks to pick a date for LEAPS. She said it will be sometime in October.
Westfield said her goal for the 2007 LEAPS is to get the whole campus involved while traveling to one general location. She said that way, every student will be able to see the impact of their small assignment, along with the contribution of all the participants.
"We are working with other universities that do one day service programs and have been doing them longer than we have," Westfield said, "We are learning stuff that they have done and making it more applicable to TCU. Ideally, each year, we are enhancing it."
