Last weekend, Student Life's Tri-Alpha National Honors Society for First Gen Students travelled to Omaha, Nebraska to volunteer at the Christian Outreach Program-Elkhorn (COPE).

Our students left USF at 6am and returned 9pm making for a long day but it was well worthwhile as they helped COPE's clients shop for food, clothing, personal care and household items. We even had time for a quick stop at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium on the way home!

Thank you to Jenzabar for all your support in making this trip happen.
