What Scholars in Service Means to Me

I have been involved in community service all my life, and was looking to continue this chose Scholars so that I could be a part of group of like minded individuals. I have met so many incredible people in this program that continuously honor our commitment to service and advocacy. Scholars in Service has become a major cornerstone of my time at Ursinus and something that will continue to have a lasting impact on my life.

Memorable Moment in Scholars in Service

In volunteering for the Write Away Digital Literacy Program, we are each paired with a student or two to mentor through different writing tasks. I worked with one particularly bubbly student who recently reached out to me asking for help on an application for a rigorous high school study abroad program. It is extremely fulfilling to see this student feel empowered to apply for this program and also to have her reach out for help. Seeing the long lasting impacts a program like Write Away can have makes it all worth it.
