This
week, we wanted to inspire you to not only get involved, but to consider
working for the CCE, next year! After all, a different world cannot be
built by indifferent people. -- Horace Mann
We
hope you’ll enjoy this short testimonial from Natasha Beda, our Hunger and
Poverty coordinator:
"As
a CCE employee for the last two years I have grown tremendously personally and
professionally through hard work, initiative, and opportunity. The CCE has
provided me with opportunities to learn skills such as event management,
building community partnerships, volunteer recruitment, and visioning. This
student run office allows for independent, creative leaders to shine, grow, and
work to inspire others. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to help
build up the CCE and lend a hand in planning for its future. As a CCE employee,
you will create lasting friendships and learn more about the university and
student involvement than you could have imagined and it will change the way you
view the community, student involvement, and the university."
