This year marks the fifth annual Big Event and will include 27 separate service projects at Syracuse nonprofits. Twenty first-year students, called OrangeSeeds, have been organizing the day’s activities since late January. OrangeSeeds is a leadership empowerment program that cultivates first-year students’ community values and leadership skills. Their training culminates with the planning of The Big Event.
