COMMUNITY
If elected community service commissioner, I plan to focus on
issues that will directly affect the commission and other community
service interests on campus as well. Chancellor Carnesale’s stance
on community service is not fully known. It is my hope to convince
the chancellor that community service is something which he should
continue to support as much as his predecessor did.
The Chancellor’s Service Award for graduating seniors, the
Charles Young Humanitarian Award, donations to the Community
Activities Committee from the Chancellor’s Discretionary Fund and
support for community service events and activities, are all issues
which I would like the chancellor to advocate.
This year, CSC was able to collaborate with other campus
community service groups, including the Community Programs Office,
Bruin Corps and the Office of Student and Campus Life. I hope to
maintain, and perhaps improve, relations with these groups and to
be more inclusive of other groups on campus as well.
I wish to make CSC a community service venue for all students
who are interested in doing such services and would like to
collaborate with other student groups such as Bruin Belles, Alpha
Phi Omega, the Student Alumni Association, USOs, SAGs, and
fraternities and sororities.
