Affiliations
Through my position at MSU Landscape Planning and Facilities, I had the opportunity to volunteer my time in helping employees as well as students in going around and cleaning the river of pollution.
Accomplishments
Participated in my local hometown gazebo cleanup, that involved repainting of the previously damaged structure. The touchup took several hours but, was very worth it as it has brought many younger kids to continue using the space.
