One might typically hear a commotion
at the Service Programs Office; it is the sound of the crew, working
relentlessly - brains smoldering, limbs flailing. We work constantly. And we
love our jobs.
Service is a third of the Triad.
Everyone knows this, but comparatively fewer people understand why service is
important beyond a requirement for graduation. There’s more to it than that,
and I’d like to help illustrate that point.
I’d bet that most students are
unaware that the Service Program has a blog (I didn’t even know at first).
Well, we do, and it is currently under heavy renovation. I need the help of
Warren Wilson students, staff, and faculty to bring it to life. The blog will
provide a space for folks to share their experiences in service, from total
failures to absolute successes (and everything in between). The blog will
additionally contain updates on crewmembers and resources for finding service
opportunities.
This chunk of the Triad is
constantly changing. I hope that a fancy new blog, along with your involvement,
can help us all to better understand and interpret the Service Program. Let’s at least
create a fun website to reflect and shed light on service, that elusive,
misunderstood third of our school’s operating system.
For more information on the blog,
or if you’d like to submit something, feel free to contact Collin Hoban at choban@warren-wilson.edu.
