On Thursday, April 25, 2013 Stockton hosted a great event called the Celebration of Service. I wanted to go to the event because while I work in Grants, Service Learning is in the same office and I know how hard they work to plan events and projects. At first I wasn’t sure what to expect from the event, whether it would be powerpoint presentations or posters and booths, but it sounded interesting!

When I arrived at the the event, I was a little taken aback to see how few people chose to present. I suppose I missed a few people due to class schedules, but I certainly expected there to be more people volunteering to present their projects. Even though there were so few people attending, I was still able to enjoy the event in the brief time I was there.

Many of the tables had pamphlets to take home in addition to their actual boards so i was happy to have additional information for future references! The presentation boards ranged from very colorful and flashy to more subtle and simple. One of my favorite tables help the Peace Corps, which is something I’ve been interested in for some time now. Although there weren’t many tables and presentations, I think the event still went really well.

Just like presenting research on the Day of Scholarship, I think it’s really great that people who are passionate of their service projects want to spread their enthusiasm and work! I plan on attending the celebration of service again next year and I might even have something to present in year to come!
