HAMDEN, Conn. - Senior Josh Perry and assistant coach Nick Lara of the men's cross country/track and field squad visited with fifth and sixth grade students at Ridge Hill School in Hamden on Tuesday. The duo spoke with the youngsters about academics and athletics.

This program, which will continue throughout the spring semester, is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.

Initiated in September, 2008, the 'Community Service Cup' program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2010-11 academic year.
