“

“Serving the community isn't about the hours or the resume, not even the reputation you build from it. Serving is about building trust, creating connections, constructing paths that lead to a better tomorrow,--but most importantly, it's about learning and growth. During my experiences, I've grown through the sweat of the labor and learned to heal through the tenderhearted conversations.”

– Reginald A. Porter II '21
