Summary: The Center of Community Engaged Learning connects students to non-profits around the Lansing area. The students offer their services to their partner site while participating in student engagement projects. Some examples are Spartan Days of Service, MLK Remembrance, Student Voting Project, and various volunteer fairs.The Year of 202-2021: This school year, I am partnered with the City of Lansing, Public Service Department. With my partner, Tom Douglas, we are project managers of the Flood Prevention Task Force. This task force includes monthly and weekly small group meetings to discuss action items to educate the Lansing area about preventing flood damage and preparing for weather emergencies. Some of the conclusions we came to as a large group was rebranding the website, creating educational materials for people who don't have access to the internet and in different languages and reading levels, and creating seasonal prevention materials. The Year of 2019-2020: During my time as a Community Engagement Scholar, I was partnered with the YMCA in Downtown Lansing as their Marketing Intern focused on social media. I worked about 12 hours per week, and I met with the Executive Director daily to discuss social media ideas enhancements to the lobby marketing and update her on creative ideas. I created three posts per week that involved member engagement, company engagement, healthy tips, staff & member spotlights, and community service initiatives. Since I was an admin on social media, there were brand rules I had to adhere to. I attended a brand awareness meeting with the Marketing Branch Manager. This meeting solidified my excitement for the brand and its importance to maintaining. I made great connections at the Y, and I will keep them in my heart and cherish the experience forever. The program has gifted me some of my favorite college experiences, and I hope to be a returning scholar for the 2020-2021 school year.
