SPU Students To Start New School Year By Cleaning Up Hicks Lake Sept. 24

On Saturday, Sept. 24, more than 750 freshmen and transfer students from Seattle Pacific University will experience their first day of college off campus fixing up houses, removing graffiti, cleaning up parks, and countless other projects throughout Seattle, including several doing a stint at Hicks Lake in White Center.


This annual community service orientation, called “CityQuest,” is one way students live out the SPU mission of “engaging the culture and changing the world.”

SPU students and staff will be doing weeding, mulching and trail repair at Hicks Lake, right next to Cascade Middle School, from 10:30 a.m. – 2 :30 p.m., as well as at two other locations in Seattle.

CityQuest brings together students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni to work in more than 30 different community service projects throughout Seattle.

Founded in 1891, Seattle Pacific University is a premier Christian university that equips people to engage the culture and change the world. Its comprehensive academic program serves more than 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Known for both their competence and character, SPU graduates are bringing about positive change in communities around the globe.
