The community service project has been a big part of my very first semester in College. Although I was active in high school, it seems that this community service project is much more influential and rewarding than any of the others that I have completed in high school. The steps that I went through to complete it have and will continue to help me throughout subsequent semesters in Baruch College.
In order to research and obtain information about the topic, I went to the databases that were available on the William and Anita Newman Library website. I have heard about these databases in many of my other classes however, it was the library visit with Stephen Francoeur that helped my the most. By listening to his presentation about the databases that were most useful when looking for non-profit organizationsthat needed volunteers, I was also able to be familiarized with the other databases that helped me tremendously with the other projects that I had to complete during the semester, like the Company Project for Business 1000H recitation. Professor Francoeur’s presentation was also an incredible help when looking for the non-profit organization that I was going to work for. The databases that he recommended were an immeasurable help and were the way that I found the organization that my group was going to volunteer for.
