UA Business Students Organize Volunteer Day in Tucson
Over 400 Eller College students and community volunteers participate in national Make a Difference Day October 27.
TUCSON, Ariz. – October 24, 2012 – Students enrolled in a nonprofit management class at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management have organized a brigade of 400 of their peers and community members to volunteer in the Tucson community October 27. The effort was organized to coincide with Make a Difference Day, a national movement founded by USA WEEKEND Magazine.
The Eller College students have organized projects with both Tanque Verde High School and Tanque Verde Elementary School. Eller students and community volunteers will be deployed to each school to complete various projects in an effort to create a better learning environment for students.
“Students realize their responsibility for creating positive social change in their community, especially at small schools such as Tanque Verde,” said Shauna Williams, a student team leader. “We find that we have the power to make a big impact and it’s important to feel empowered about our community. We are looking forward to stepping up to make a difference while working shoulder-to-shoulder with our neighbors to help make Tucson a better place to learn and live.”
This is the second year that the Eller College’s annual philanthropy day has been integrated with the national Make a Difference Day. The students will join over three million people in giving back to their communities on a national day of service.
