JOMC 441 Extra Credit

For the 2009-2010 academic year, I served as the president of Carolina R.O.C.T.S. (Rejuventating Our Community Through Service). The organzation plans, organizes and supervises the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day for Service each year. The goal is to unite Carolina students, faculty and staff together to do service in the community, "taking a day on instead of a day off." During Fall 2009, the program logistics are planned under my leadership, with extensive help from the organizations advisor. Being involved in the organization for the past three years, I have only been apart of the planning of the event, but I truly believe in my service, creating an opportunity for others to get involved in their community. This year Day for Service was more rewarding for me because of the increase in volunteers and more importantly the diversity in the attendees. There were many new faces and a tremendous amount of energy and excitement for new projects.
