Walden University

The first Walden University National Day of Service, last September brought alumni, students, faculty, and staff together as a force of positive social change in communities across the United States.

• Dr. Altomese Brown ’04, who earned a Ph.D. in Education, organized volunteers to do household chores at a Savannah, Ga., Ronald McDonald House.
• Dr. Belinda Moses ’03, who earned a Ph.D. in Education, led a team of alumni who shared tips with underserved teenagers in Detroit on how to prepare for college or vocational careers.
• Walden faculty, staff, and administration in Minnesota served meals at People Serving People, a Minneapolis organization that provides housing, meals, and education programs to people in need.
• Walden and Laureate Education staff and administration in Maryland cleared debris, planted trees, and helped beautify the urban Jones Falls Trail used by Baltimore walkers and bikers.
• Walden and Laureate volunteers in Los Angeles removed non-native plants in the Ballona Wetlands to aid in the restoration of this unique coastal environment.
