Flashback to ETC Day 2026 from last week!
Joining together for an afternoon of service, our Beacons supported more than 30 nonprofits, businesses, and churches throughout Eugene and Springfield. Embrace the Community Day gives us an opportunity to collectively pause as a university and connect with our community, while reminding us that serving others isn’t meant for just one day, but every day as Christ did.
