Honoring Campus Corps members for exemplary service
A few weeks back, Campus Corps members from around the state gathered in Bozeman to wrap up the program year and celebrate their service. Congratulations to the following members, who received special recognition at this year's Spring Summit:
The Award for Exceptional Leadership was awarded to Liz Dellwo, 2008-09 team leader at MSU-Bozeman. Liz's tireless commitment to the program and her members has been an inspiration for many, including staff at MSU's Office for Community Involvement, Campus Corps members, and fellow team leaders throughout the state.
The honor of Outstanding Service Project was awarded to Flathead Valley Community College Campus Corps Team for their Suessville University event. The day-long celebration of Dr. Suess's legacy engaged approximately 50 student volunteers, who coordinated activities for over 250 third graders from throughout the Flathead Valley. Activities included art, music, math, storytelling and a theater production.
The Campus Corps Citizenship Award was received by member Lindsay Stocker at MSU-Billings. Lindsay recently completed a two-year term of service with Campus Corps and has played a vital role in helping MSU-B's Office for Community Involvement meet its civic mission. Her dedication to service reaches beyond the scope of her AmeriCorps commitment and she continues to meet the needs of disadvantaged youth at her former service site, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yellowstone County.
Excellence in Service-Learning was bestowed upon Nikole Disney. Having just wrapped-up her Junior year as an Elementary Education major at MSU-Bozeman, Nikole has drawn significant, lasting connections between her coursework and out-of-classroom experiences through meaningful service and reflection. Having served as a tutor with MSU's America Reads*America Counts program, as well as the FFA, Nikole feels that her Campus Corps experience has given her a way to be civically active as a full-time student and she plans to continue serving as a volunteer for the rest of her life.
In addition, Special Recognition was afforded to Charles Kennedy, a member at Blackfeet Community College. Charlie has devoted two years to his Campus Corps service on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, where he coordinates physical fitness and art activities for youth at a local language immersion school. In addition to encouraging young people to lead active lifestyles and make healthy choices, Charlie has learned a lot about the Blackfeet culture himself and has gained valuable experience as a future teacher.
Congratulations to these--and all--Campus Corps members for your exemplary service to Montana!
