Every year during the fall semester hundreds of Iona students, staff, and faculty engage in a variety of service, advocacy, and philanthropic efforts on campus and in local communities. From September 25 to October 1, Iona University continued this long-standing tradition, hosting a number of on campus activities to celebrate this year’s week.
