JU Charter Day of Service
Jacksonville University is gearing up to commemorate its Charter Day this Friday.
The school celebrates it as a day of service with hundreds of students, faculty staff and alumni fanning out across Arlington to help more than a dozen nonprofits with a whole range of projects.
And it’s part of the neighborhood’s Renew Arlington turnaround effort as well.
We discuss these efforts and Jacksonville University's impact on the surrounding area with Tim Cost, president of JU, and retired Brig. Gen. Michael Fleming, the school's chief government, military and community relations officer.
