Volunteering on and off campus is a great way for you to learn new skills, meet new people, and improve your resume.
Volunteering is also a genuinely important and meaningful way to contribute and improve the community in which we live, work, and learn. For more information on how to incorporate volunteerism into your career and academic planning contact Larry Iles, Experiential Learning Coordinator.
