The 13th annual Webster-WorksWorldwide, a designated day for WU students and faculty to perform volunteer work, was held Oct. 3. Projects included dog grooming, gardening, performing music, painting and renovating homes. The community service day was established by WU President Richard Meyers when he first arrived at the university.

"It's really an amazing contribution from our students, faculty and staff members to the communities where Webster has campuses," Meyers said in a press release. "It's incredible to think that on this special day Webster University is making a global difference. Our 'hands-on' projects reinforce the learning that occurs every day in our classrooms throughout
the world."
