Snickers the turtle was a fan favorite among Elmira College students during the Elmira College Community Engagement Fair on Wednesday, September 16. The small turtle was an ideal representative at the Tanglewood Nature Center table where he could get pets while his handler shared information about the organization’s museum and surrounding hiking trails.
But Tanglewood was far from the only non-profit organization to get attention. Hundreds of students walked around Speidel Gymnasium, stopping at more than 20 tables to ask questions and learn about the area’s volunteer opportunities.
“We’re on our second page,” said Shabnam Allwood as she pointed to the sign-up sheet on the edge of her table. Allwood, Manager of Membership and Operations for the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce, said she and Haley Boss, Events Coordinator for the Chamber, received a “lot of great questions” from the students.
“My favorite conversation was with a student from Maryland,” shared Boss. “He was involved with the Chamber there and wants to bring that experience here.”
Allwood said they are looking for between six and 12 volunteers to help with data management, events, and promotions.
Kole Zufall ’30, Braxton Evans ’30, and Gabriel Pepe ’30 walked around Speidel together.
Pepe, an Education major, enjoyed how the Engagement Fair brought the non-profit organizations together, “instead of having to go and find opportunities on our own.”
“The College is providing us the opportunities, helping us to complete our community service. It’s all in front of us, so we can use what the college is providing,” chimed in Zufall, a Business Administration major.
The three friends were particularly in love with Snickers. Zufall and Evans grew up in the area and remember going to Tanglewood as kids and are excited to give back to the organization.
Pepe, who grew up in Bushkill, Pennsylvania, also enjoys the outdoors. He’s considering helping the Friends of the Chemung River Valley maintain the nearby river.
Another student, Anoushka Barve ’30, was drawn to Meals on Wheels of Chemung County. The Biology major in the BS to DO program was particularly interested in issues around food insecurity.
“I think it’s interesting,” she shared. “Elmira is a small city, so it’s nice to see so many students and organizations come together to help people as one big community. It’s inspiring.”
For Barve, the Engagement Fair offered a way to turn her interest in food insecurity into action.
“I one-hundred percent have what I need to complete my community service hours,” she shared. “I appreciate how flexible the organizations are. They’re all willing to help us students. And I think this event was insightful in how we can contribute to the community.”
