Also pictured is Solomon Delaney, executive student director of The BIG Event. More than 1,200 SFA students are expected to take part in the annual day of service planned for Saturday, March 22. Students plan The BIG Event to thank the community for all it does to support the university throughout the year. On Saturday, teams of student volunteers will fan out to Nacogdoches residences, businesses and nonprofit organizations that have requested assistance with yard work, interior and exterior painting, basic household repairs, and other projects.
