MAcc Gives Back!
This past Friday many of the MAcc students joined together to donate their time to various local charitable organizations. The day started, as most days should, with coffee and bagels with the class. After breakfast had finished, each of the groups dispatched to their respective service locations. Some of the locations that were available to volunteer at were: The Boys and Girls Club, The Capital Area Humane Society, Franklin Park Conservatory, the Columbus Rabbit House, and several other locations.
My group, which consisted of students, working professionals from Columbus, and two Ohio State faculty members, were assigned to COSI, which is a science museum and research center located in downtown Columbus. Unfortunately, we were not there to explore the museum and see what research is being done (which is must-do if you end up coming to Ohio State.). Our group’s task was to help the landscaping team finish mulching different flower and tree beds that surround the property. For the two hours we were at COSI, we were able to mulch several beds, which was able to save the landscaping team at least a full day of work!
After we finished at COSI, all of the groups met back at the Varsity Club, which is a staple restaurant across the street from the Fisher College of Business. Everyone had lunch together, discussed their volunteer project, and caught up.
Overall, through MAcc gives back, our class was able to donate over 100 service hours to the community of Columbus. Aside from donating time, it was also a terrific opportunity to interact with your fellow classmates, Fisher Faculty, and working professionals.
