I took the ASG survey regarding parking, housing, and other resources on campus for an hour of volunteer work.

For this volunteer opportunity, we were put into groups to help clean different parts of the library. I dusted and polished bookshelves and other furniture throughout the library, cleaned windows, and disinfected/cleaned tables.

For the October ALD meeting, we brought old T-shirts and made dog toys to donate. In exchange for an hour of volunteer service.

For this volunteer opportunity, I decluttered, cleaned (swept, mopped), and reorganized the utility closet. After cleaning the utility closet, I made sure all of the cords on the appliances were wrapped up and not in the floor, I also swept the main floor.

For my social honors event, I attended the Spanish Heritage month recess. I was there for the last half, so the chips and churros were gone. I did get a chocolate marshmallow Ricolino, listened to Selena, and got to talk to a few Path students.

For my second honors event, I attended an Earth Day celebration in Hotz. We had tacos from Doomsday, I was given a reusable straw, and everyone had the opportunity to plant a succulent (I did)!! This was a pretty fun event and it was honestly refreshing!

Through the Refugees Awareness Day event, I walked around to different booths and learned more about the process that Refugees have to go through. The process is often long and tedious since refugees have many barriers: lack of transportation, communication barriers. Refugees may have a hard time enrolling kids into school, or getting a job because of all the legal forms involved as well as communication barriers( different language). I also learned about a nonprofit in NWA called "Canopy" who help welcome Refugees and get them settled in the area. Canopy also provides volunteer and internship opportunities. Overall this was a great and very informative opportunity!!

I donated canned goods and personal hygiene items to the Full Circle Food Pantry through the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society for a volunteer opportunity.

For the April ALD meeting we talked about upcoming leadership positions, and donated items for the Full Circle Food Pantry food drive.
