	Emily Dufrene Director of External Affairs Senior New Orleans, LA I love making people smile and meeting new people.
	Megan Simon Director of Internal Affairs Junior, Psychology Erath, LA Volunteering is important to me because by helping the Baton Rouge community we are inturn helping the LSU community, future generations, and society as a whole. I was raised with the notion of how important it is to give "it" away if you are fortunate enough to have it. "It" can be anything from the smallest to the largest thing that there is a need for.
	Ritu Roy Communications Director Junior, Psychology Kolkata, India For me helping people out is the ultimate goal I can achieve. Everything we do is for the purpose of betterment and one way I endeavour to do it through, is volunteering! :)

By broadening my worldview this way, I am able to enrich my own life, while also helping someone else breathe easier.

	Morgan Matchett Baton Rouge Restoration and Beautification Focus Area Chair Sophomore, Mathematics Baton Rouge, LA I am a firm believer in paying it forward. Volunteering is a great way to give back to a community that has helped you in the past or may help you in the future. Not only is service a way to help out others, it is also a great way to make new friends who want to make a difference as well.
	Emily Watkins Civic Awareness & Engagement Sophomore, English & Secondary Education Bossier City, Louisiana Service is the humbling experience of putting others above yourself. It makes you realize life is bigger than yourself and your problems.
	Erin Percevault Environmental & Disaster Response Sophomore, Landscape Architecture Verona, New Jersey Service gives me a purpose in life which is greater than simply living my own life.
	Megan Garrett Health and Wellness Junior, Animal Science Slidell, La Service is something that I hold very close to my heart. I have been blessed with so many opportunities in my life, so I try to take the time and pass on those opportunites to others. There is always a need for volunteers, so you can serve where you can whenever you can. I have met the most amazing people, and made some of my very best friends through serving others. You go into something thinking you're going to change someone's life, but in reality they end up changing you in so many ways. What I have learned throughout the years, is that the most valuable thing you can every give someone is your Time!
