Tell us about some of your activities at Purdue.

I joined the Boiler Out Volunteer Program my freshman year. This organization has benefitted me personally, academically and professionally. As a volunteer, I have done meaningful community service projects at places such as nursing homes, community centers and food pantries. This was my first time to visit such places. Through this organization, I have enhanced my communication and learned valuable skills, including time management and leadership skills. I have also met friends from around the world. This is my favorite student organization at Purdue. I highly recommended it to students who are interested in helping those in need and giving back to the community.
