My name is Nena Evans and I'm a Statistics major
I chose UVA because the first minute I stepped on Grounds, I knew that this was going to be my home
So many people here are involved in service, even the University holds UVA wide
philanthropic events like Pancakes for Parkinsons and Relay for Life. All of the people
that I know, get involved in service and contribute to the community as a whole
I think service is a really great opportunity for all of the students to sort of
explore the Charlottesville community. My first volunteer experience here at UVA
was tutoring students that speak English as a second language
I really learned how to communicate better through that and really started to get a feel for
what people go through in a new environment
a new community, learning a new language. I think if we all serve our own respective
communities, then the whole world will be a better place
