A Note from the
CAS
C Staff:
|
Greetings CASC'ers,
We are continuing to highlight CASC students who are doing amazing work in the world. This week, we highlight, Logan Ziegler!
What are the ways that you CASC?!
"I work for the Community Action Network at the Hikone public housing community in the after school program. Interacting with kids of all ages in different capacities, from helping them with homework to emotional and social development, I feel like I have truly been able to make an impact. Each day of work brings me great joy as I can always count on the kids to put a big smile on my face. I hope one day to be able to work with kids again as I have found this experience to be extremely rewarding." Logan Ziegler, Senior, Ross School of Business
Thank you Logan for sharing how you
CASC and we're so excited for your career ahead!
Have a great week, CASC'ers!
