Service Dawgs
The week before classes started at Mississippi State University, 150 students and 50 faculty/staff members did service work for locals schools and charities. MSU's mascot is the "bulldawg" so it was natural to call this effort "Service Dawgs, Donating A Wonderful Gift of Service." One group helped the Society of Saint Andrew to glean watermelons for food pantries and children's homes.
