About:
Community service and engagement is a pillar of Emporia State and NCAA Division II athletics. The objective of community engagement and service is to build relationships by bringing the Emporia and Flint Hills area communities together with Hornet Athletics to share experiences away from the field of competition.
“Community Service is a vital part of our student-athlete development program,” said Emporia State Senior Associate Athletic Director Carmen Leeds. “We strive to develop our student-athletes in the classroom, through athletic competition and within the community. The City of Emporia and the entire Flint Hills region is supportive of Emporia State Athletics and our student-athletes enjoy getting out and helping in the community to give support back to those in need. Each year our student-athletes participate in community service and hopefully this will develop a lifelong commitment to volunteerism.”
In the 2012-2013 school year, student athletes were involved in 3859 hours of volunteer work.
