What does being a Volunteer mean to you? How has UT empowered you to make a difference in a way you might not have imagined elsewhere?

Being a Vol means being able to enact change in a broader community. Being a Vol empowers you to be able to make changes that can affect generations in the future. I hope to continue with disability advocacy to make our university and world more universally accessible.
