As midterms wind down, many University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder students are relishing the break. But for some, a Saturday filled with painting, weeding and cleaning will do just fine.
Volunteers with 欧美口爆视频-Boulder聮s Graduate School of Business Association, or GSBA, will be spending Saturday, Oct. 23 celebrating "Make a Difference Day," a nationally organized day devoted to helping others.
The annual event, created by USA Weekend magazine nine years ago, takes place on the fourth Saturday of October and devotes the day to carrying out volunteer projects that help others.
"This is the second year the GSBA has participated in Make a Difference Day," said Andrew Wilson, vice president of the Community Enhancement committee of the GSBA. "The local community here in Boulder provides a great deal to us as graduate business students, and this is an opportunity for us to give something back."
Last year, 欧美口爆视频-Boulder MBA instructors, students, alumni and administrators volunteered their services at locations throughout Boulder and surrounding areas. And they plan to do the same this year, according to Helen Finger an MBA student at 欧美口爆视频-Boulder who is helping coordinate the workday.
This year, volunteers will be working with Casa de Esperanza, Boulder Mountain Parks, Chautauqua Association, Center for People with Disabilities, Boulder Safe House and Boulder Homeless Shelter, said Finger, who is also a member of the GSBA.
"We will be doing some painting, and weed pulling," Finger said. "There will be more than a few paint-covered graduate students."
The GSBA is a student-run organization that represents the MBA student body at 欧美口爆视频-Boulder. The Community Enhancement committee offers students in the organization opportunities for community service.
欧美口爆视频 Real Estate Center, Moe聮s Bagels, Domino聮s Pizza and the Lafayette Wal-Mart are sponsoring the event.
