This year's theme is "Celebrating the Integration of Labor, Learning and Service."

Service projects planned include: roadside trash pick-up in Jackson County; providing assistance for a local church construction project; a Habitat for Humanity building project in Berea; potting plants with the elderly at Health Care Manor, and spring clean-up and landscaping projects at several on-campus locations. For additional information on projects, contact Dennis Jacobs at (859) 985-3154.

In the spirit of honoring student work (every Berea student works a minimum of 10 hours per week in a College job) and to allow all students "a day off," faculty and staff

will assume some jobs usually performed by students, such as preparing and serving meals in the campus Dining Services all day Tuesday.

On Labor Day eve, Monday, April 29, there will be an awards banquet at 6 p.m. in Baird Lounge honoring students who have excelled in their College jobs, followed by a street dance sponsored by the Country Dancers at 7:30 p.m. in front of Boone Tavern on the College Square.

On Tuesday, Labor Day activities will kick-off with a pancake breakfast in Woods-Penniman Commons from 7:30-9 a.m. Service projects are scheduled from 9 a.m. -2:30 p.m. Afternoon fun for students includes Zap Attack Laser Tag at the Soccer firled from noon - 6 p.m. and the "Three Sport Challenge" from 2-4 p.m. at the Intramurals fields behind the Alumni Building. A "Celebration of Work Well Done" steak and veggie burger dinner for all students and employees is scheduled for 4:30-6:30 p.m. on the Alumni Building patio, with music provided by the Berea Bluegrass Band.

The final event of the day will be a pops concert by the Berea College Band beginning at 7 p.m. in the Woods-Penniman Commons. The College Winds will perform "A Salute to Broadway" and the Jazz Ensemble will play music from their 2002 Roadshow Tour. The concert is free and open to the public.
