After the small groups got finished meeting about their particular solution, we all came back to the large group and presented our ideas and took questions from the rest of the group. Bringing the solutions back to the large group was a good idea. The other part of the day that seemed to have no bearing whatsoever and did not seem to be effective was the volunteer fair. There were some organizations present with the hope of getting people to volunteer to help out with different things. One problem with this is that, as seniors, most of the students are more concerned with their classes and graduating than they are in volunteering, and those who are concerned and would like to volunteer do not have the time to devote to some organization.
Senior year is a very crazy time when there are many things to think about and figure out.
Now is not the time to take on something else. Julie Klutsarits is a Psychology major and a Women's Studies minor. The idea behind the volunteer fair was that students need to take their education and move beyond school. Also, it was a great way for students to establish connections for jobs. The volunteer fair was a way to inform students about what is out there when they graduate.
