Oglethorpe University urges volunteer work at nonprofits | ajc.com: "'Life in the bubble is great and all,' said freshman Sylvia Johnson, 18, 'but it's great to get out and meet new people.'
The Center for Civic Engagement manages the university's efforts to incorporate volunteer work into a student's college experience by organizing excursions to Atlanta-area non-profits. Freshman are now required to earn four credits of civic work.
'One of our goals is to teach students ways to give back and to appreciate what they have,' said the center's assistant director, Heather Staniszewski."
