Sam Shriver of WLIO-TV interviews Zach Bragg during Ada Community Engagement (ACE) Day on Saturday.
Zach, whose summer job is working with a landscaping firm, helped at the Railroad Park gardens. About 300 incoming first-year students and faculty members volunteered in the community for two hours on Saturday morning.
They helped homeowners, schools, parks, and others. ACE Day is an opportunity for students to learn about the local community, foster good university/community relations, and encourages students to help others.
