"They offer a variety of volunteering options, which is beneficial for the student. It is also close to our campus so it makes it easier for our students to attend. Honors college students love to volunteer because we love to help the community in every possible way. We encourage them to attend each and every volunteering opportunity we provide. It helps students become a more active part of the community.”
