From a DSU Crew Member to another….
Making new friends at college was undeniably more challenging than in high school. But in my first year, I volunteered with the DSU, and I met the most amazing people, whether they were attendees at DSU events, other volunteers, or the DSU team. I was welcomed with open arms on my first shift, and I always returned for another shift just for the experience of working with the team. I did not simply volunteer because of any requirements, but because I genuinely enjoyed the service I was doing for the Douglas community. A skill I developed while volunteering that I feel will take me a long way is how I got comfortable having conversations with people I met for the first time – whether it was about their classes, an exam, or even the weather! I still run into DSU event attendees who I met while volunteering and we always catch up. Thanks to the great volunteer program the DSU offers, I can confidently say that I integrated well into Douglas College and made my first year very memorable. I look forward to the new experiences the DSU will bring for me and all other students who choose to take on the volunteer experience with the DSU.
