Personal Statement
As the Civic Connections Coordinator, I have been able to connect incoming students interested in civic engagement opportunities to organizations in need of volunteers. I was able to make a personal connections with students and place them with non-profit organizations based on their interests. The hope and goal is to build a connection between students, organizations, and community members. I have also provided leadership to fundraisers including one benefit raising 1170 meals for recent hurricane victims. Currently, I provide support to our most civically active student organizations as well as lead voter engagement efforts on campus. In the future, I hope to be able to participate in more community events like Community Action Day, and potentially help plan more community-wide events.
