Uif!Kpvsobm!pg!Qbdjgjd!Vojpo!Dpmmfhf Fall 2007 AT THE HEART OF COMMUNITY Expanding the Definition of Service editorial viewpoint ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES | by Lainey S. Cronk This year, I enjoyed commencement from the busy environs of the PR/info booth at the Grove, where I could smile at the pomp and general celebrating but didn’t have to sit still the whole time. It was an ideal way to experience graduation ceremonies, except for one problem: I couldn’t hear Julius Nam’s commencement address at all. Oh, a few words here and there in between supplying people with water, but that was it. Tp!J!xbt!efmjhiufe!up!hfu!nz!iboet!po!uif!

AT THE HEART OF COMMUNITY Expanding the Definition of Service By Lainey S.
