Why did you choose to be a PM for your program?

As a chair for ASB last academic year, I noticed that a lot of students did not know about the CSC. These students ranged from freshmen to seniors. I chose to be a PM for Community Engagement so I can help spread word about the CSC to the BU community and public.

What is something about your program you are looking forward to?

I am looking forward to learning different creative ways to advertise what the CSC does in a way that catches the attention of those who come across it. I am excited to collaborate with my community engagement co-PMs as well as the other PMs in SFR, FYSOP and DOS

Why do you think people should get involved with the CSC?

People should get involved with the CSC because it is a great opportunity to mingle with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds. Not only does the CSC offer volunteer opportunities, but it educates on service, informs about social justice issues and organizes reflections on what was observed. It is a great opportunity to have fun while learning.
