Not many college students would spend a Saturday digging ditches and then say it was a good day, but following the second annual TCU LEAPS event in September, some did. The ditch was just one place the nearly 700 students, faculty and staff volunteers were assigned during the all-campus community service effort — others visited homes for the elderly, packed food boxes, sorted donated clothing or painted a house. More than 30 agencies and local charities benefited from the event, which began with workshops the night before to help volunteers understand the value of their service.
