In the Community

Community service is an important part of the Islanders Athletics experience. Student-athletes are a key part of the campus and Corpus Christi communities, and with everything that our fellow Islanders and the people of the city give to us, we feel it is important to give back.

2025-26 Community Service Efforts:

• Beach Bash
• Conquer the Coast
• Islanders Housing Move-In

Total Hours of Community Service as of Jan. 1, 2026: over 2,100
