Service Day

One of our most meaningful traditions is Service Day, where classes are canceled and schedules are cleared so all of Lipscomb can give back to Nashville.

Since 2002, our campus-wide Service Day has been one of the most anticipated days of the spring semester. More than 1,000 students, faculty and staff volunteered in 2018 and helped 50 organizations around Nashville, from local churches to nonprofits and elementary schools. In fact, that’s more than 3,000 service hours we accumulate — in a single day.
