阿连特国际大学有 卓越的四大支柱，其中之一是社区参与:

社区参与

Alliant的教师, 学生, alumni and 工作人员 are dedicated to making a positive difference in the world through professional education and practice. We measure the success of our university in part by the impact we have, 直接和间接, 关于个人的福利, 家庭, 组织和社区.

Below are some recent examples of how we are making a difference in our communities.

夫勒斯诺市: Our 夫勒斯诺市 工作人员 volunteered in November at the Animal Compassion Team, 他们在哪里帮助小狗玩耍和处理, 打扫小狗的房间, 花时间和狗和猫在一起, 轻轻清洁柜台, 横扫, 把前门的杂草耙干净, 总的来说，一切看起来都很美!

欧文为假期准备的, the 欧文 campus is conducting a 食物 drive for South Orange County Outreach, an organization that prevents hunger and homelessness by helping people help themselves.

萨克拉门托: Alliant-萨克拉门托 recently raised $325 for 萨克拉门托 Stand Down, a program that assists and supports homeless veterans in the 萨克拉门托 area. This is just one of the many chapters that Stand Down has around the country. 他们帮助医疗护理, 个人卫生, 食物, 服装, and other essential items that are hard for homeless veterans to come by. Their hope is that the money raised each year through this program will contribute to the overall sense of well being that many veterans need.

圣地亚哥:

1) For the month of November The 圣地亚哥 SVO (Student Veterans Organization) conducted a “Clothes and Toiletry” Drive for homeless Veterans.

2)假期, the 圣地亚哥 校园 will be collecting gifts for preteen and teens for the Polinsky Children’s Center. The center is a 24-hour facility for the temporary emergency shelter of children who must be separated from their 家庭 for their own safety, 或者当父母无法提供照顾时. They are looking for donations of newly purchased and unwrapped toiletries/hygiene products for boys/girls such as bath accessories, 乳液, 剃须用品, 身体喷雾剂, 等.

旧金山: For the month of January the San Francisco Staff Council will continue to run their  donation drive to benefit Ruby’s Place. 到目前为止，他们已经收到了260多笔捐款! The mission of Ruby’s Place is to foster a wellness-based and culturally-responsive community providing emergency shelter and supportive services to women and children who experience domestic violence, 人口贩卖和无家可归. 他们正在寻找捐赠的新毛巾(任何尺寸), 包括浴巾), new twin-sized sheets and personal-sized soaps and shampoos (new / unopened), the mini-travel-sized ones that can be bought at almost any retail store (e.g., Walgreens, Longs Drugs, Target, CVS) or often given complimentary via hotel stays.  Please bring all donations to the downstairs main lobby reception area near the library entrance at the SF 校园.

感谢所有的校园, 教师, 工作人员, 学生, and alumni that helped make this year's Alliant Makes A Difference Day and all our humanitarian efforts special! Seeing the collective impact of our Alliant community is inspiring to us all!
