Welcome to our Community Engagement Newsletter! At Augusta University, we're dedicated to fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. Here, you'll find upcoming volunteer opportunities, partnerships, and campus happenings that connects our university with the Augusta Community.
Each edition will highlight different topics based on current needs and interests—whether

Our goal is to strengthen the bridge between the university and the communities we
serve. If you know of additional opportunities or resources that would be a good fit
for future issues, we’d love to hear from you! Contact the Office of Community Engagement.

📃 Open Summer 2025 Newsletter
Founded in July of 2020, Project Refresh, Inc. is a non-profit organization that believes that access to a refreshing shower is a basic human right that no one should be denied. As a group of healthcare workers who have witnessed the effect that a shower has on an individual’s overall well-being and health, coupled with the fact that there are currently limited resources available in Augusta, GA that allow those in need access to a shower, it quickly became our mission to bring a mobile shower unit to several locations in the downtown Augusta area that would allow individuals to be afforded a refreshing shower, improving not only their hygiene but their dignity as well.
