Senior Ventures Spotlight: Michelle White

Over the past three years I have noticed that with COVID going on, the opportunities to serve our community have decreased. The volunteer hour requirements for graduating have also decreased significantly from 60 hours to 30 hours, thus decreasing the motivation for students to go out and serve our community. My goal is to bring back more volunteer opportunities to get our students and faculty more involved in the community around Darlington by creating a team that will function after I graduate.

The team will focus on providing opportunities to students and faculty who want to help the community in and around Darlington. The team will work with faculty, staff, and outside organizations to provide opportunities for students to help out our community. The main goal of the team is to build lasting relationships with our community so they can come talk to us anytime they need help, and to provide resources to those we can’t serve directly. 

As the program expands and more people are involved, my hope is for our community to start helping those outside of the Rome area. The service opportunities we will help provide will be great experiences for anyone who participates.

Senior Ventures is a year-long academic program built on a framework of leadership, innovation and community engagement. Through a proven self-guided exploratory process, seniors whose proposals are selected for this program work independently to develop a project that’s interdisciplinary in scope and is connective, performance-based, investigative, or entrepreneurial. Click here to learn more.
