ASB because I got to meet new people that I may have never run paths across at AC, and it’s a great way to learn new things! Just call me Handy Mandy at this point 😉. Anyways, it’s a unique and once in a life time opportunity!

ASB 2022 is my favorite Service Station Event. I had never been on ASB and the nicest part was seeing students come together through service. I was able to see a lot of students outside of our normal schedule and grow throughout the week.

My favorite Service Station event is TOSTAN because it brings together so many people on campus and showcases some amazing art that students have made. Seeing the majority of the campus population get excited about serving other people makes all of the planning and preparation that goes into the event worthwhile.
