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?
“I believe being a Volunteer means having a love and commitment for community building. In the Office of Multicultural Student Life, we are driven by wanting to create spaces for all students to belong and be seen. My time at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has provided me with the chance to work with a team committed to “lighting the way” for others while empowering and pouring into our communities. I am grateful for a professional career that has centered on facilitating opportunities for members of campus to learn about ourselves and each other.”
