What's The Big Event?

The Big Event is the only student activity that unites all seven Health Sciences Center colleges in an effort to say “thank you” to the Oklahoma City metro area. This year will be a brand new Big Event. We will be going out into the immediate community to help different organizations with tasks like cleaning, painting, landscaping, or just sharing our time. Our theme for the HSC Big Event, "Lend a Hand, Change a Life", specifically reflects our passion and dedication to service. HSC students, faculty, and staff are excited about putting their skills to use and invite you to join in our enthusiasm.

This year, some of the jobsites we will be helping are:

  • Avery Headstart
  • Edwards Redeemer Nursing Center
  • F.D. Moon Middle School
  • Grace Living Center
  • Jeltz Senior Center
  • McGuire Plaza
  • St. Mary's CME Church
  • Tolliver Alternative Care
  • YWCA

On March 28th, 2009 OUHSC students, faculty, and staff will unite in an unparalleled effort to say thank you to our community, one that provides constant support to the University of Oklahoma. The seventh annual Big Event will impact hundreds of community organizations throughout the Norman and Oklahoma City Metro area. As the largest student-run community service effort in the nation, The Big Event is one-of-a-kind in that it unifies the campus with the surrounding community in a showing of gratitude through philanthropy.
