Leaping into action

Inaugural LEAPS (Leaders Encouraging All People to Serve) all-campus service day includes almost 400 Frogs.

Nearly 400 students showed up on a rainy Saturday in April to do something for someone they didn’t know. They went to nursing homes and schools, food banks and the zoo, where they provided helping hands and friendly smiles. It was the inaugural LEAPS (Leaders Encouraging All People to Serve) all-campus service day, sponsored by Student Development Services. “The idea came out of the students’ desire to do more service in the community,” said Penny Woodcock, program coordinator for the TCU Leadership Center. “They really wanted a unified campus event so Fort Worth would see this big group of Horned Frogs all working together.” Above, Phi Kappa Sigma member William Brewer plays bingo with a resident of the Mariner Health Center.
