Uche @ji_ol...ogy shared a few words on this important distinction: "Throughout my four years here at UCSB, my service to our community has rarely felt like work. I've learned the true importance and impact of community organizing, and I couldn't have done any of it without my network of support and the strong communities that have nurtured and taught me since I stepped foot on campus. It's been such a joy having the opportunity to connect with so many friendly people to make great things happen, and this is a positive experience I will carry forward with me wherever I go!"
