Jacksonville University celebrates its "Charter Day" every April 16, the anniversary of its founding some 80 years ago.
This year, the school is looking outside its campus boundaries with a unique day of service for its surrounding community, Arlington.
President Tim Cost says the "Charter Day of Service" will focus on a range of community development initiatives across Arlington.
"Hundreds of JU faculty, students and alumni will perform projects across the area," said Cost during an appearance on First Coast Connect. "It's part of our overall push to support and improve this community."
