Overview

In the spirit of a Gandhian ashram, all MUWCI students participate in at least one service to the campus on a weekly basis. These activities all add to the sense of community at MUWCI, and involve all students in the construction of that community. Campus Services range from the operation of the student store - the Dukaan - to producing publications like the Newsletter, the FTB, and the Yearbook, to updating the college website and helping to service the college IT system and student computers, to keeping the campus safe by being part of the fire service team. The largest Campus Services, in the spirit of UWC environmental awareness, are working on the college organic farm, recycling, composting, and the development and maintenance of the college Biodiversity Reserve.
