OUR VIEW Allen’s experience offers lessons

The match-up featured in the sports section of the Sept. 29 issue of The Vanderbilt Hustler, as the Vanderbilt Commodores prepared to take on the Temple Owls, pitted Vanderbilt alumni against Temple alumni. While Temple boasted comedians Bob Saget and Bill Cosby, Vanderbilt proudly claimed senators Al Gore and Lamar Alexander. The alumni that should be heralded in this fashion, but, all too often pass by undetected, are alumni like Courtney Allen. Since graduating in 2005, Allen has devoted her time to the rebuilding effort still underway along the Gulf Coast, more than a year after being devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Just as many Vanderbilt students do not foresee themselves spending their time after college living in a gymnasium, this is not a path Allen predicted for herself. It was rather, in the words of Bob Dylan, “a simple twist of fate,” resulting from a volunteer experience she had through her involvement with the Wesley/Canterbury Student Fellowship at Vanderbilt. Allen’s story emphasizes the importance of involvement in campus organizations. Involvement in campus organizations allows for access to unique opportunities that might not be had otherwise. As Don Wright—MCT Allen demonstrates, these opportunities can sometimes lead to the realization of untapped interests, maybe open up new career paths and always provide a fun, worthwhile way to spend time. COLUMN The value of putting free time to good use is also demonstrated through Allen’s experience. With fall break beginning today, this is especially pertinent. While it is easy and fun to go home, visit friends New York City plane crash is cause for reflection at their schools or to simply stay at Vanderbilt, it can be equally as, if not more, fun to gather those friends together and engage in some I intended to write an article and to see my boyfriend.
