In the spirit of unity and civic engagement, we invite you to become a part of the largest student-run community service effort in the nation. The Big Event is currently operational on more than 68 university campuses across the nation, campuses that, on one day each spring, send masses of student volunteers into their surrounding community to say thank you by performing a multitude of service tasks.

In conjunction with Texas A&M University, The University of Oklahoma is currently launching a nation-wide expansion initiative. Whether your university is small or large or whether your surrounding community is ultra-urban or suburban, The Big Event has a place on your campus and in your community.

Our staff is fully committed to assisting you in the process—from start to finish—of establishing The Big Event on your campus. Brad Kinder or Renee Montgomery, OU’s Expansion Co-Chairs, are the two individuals charged with helping your school do just that. If you are interested in adopting The Big Event at your university, please contact us by e-mailing at or calling at (405) 325-7912.

Our dream is for The Big Event to become a national tradition—one that will eventually impact hundreds of communities around the nation. We look forward to working with you!
