« Previous EntriesMaking my Business Prof Proud
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Fortunately, yesterday lived up to its billing. The article turned out well and there was a nice picture of the team. I met with a business professor to discuss accounting procedures for a nonprofit and he mentioned that he had seen the article. It’s nice to know that people actually read the […]
Waiting in Anticipation
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008I love days like today. Students Serve should be appearing in the Virginia Gazette, Williamsburg’s local paper. There is a definite feeling of anticipation/excitement when you wake up knowing that there’s an article about you and your organization in the paper. I wake up before the papers are delivered, so this heightens this sense of […]
In Search of a Mascot
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008I think Students Serve could stand to have a mascot. How many nonprofits actually have their own mascot? My prime candidate is Carrie, the pink-shelled crab who lives with me in our humble dormroom in Williamsburg. She is quite the stylish one with a painting of a pink and yellow flower on her magenta shell. […]
Video Killed the Radio Star
Monday, January 28th, 2008Since I last posted, there have been some significant new, shall I say, ‘developments’ on our website. We have three new videos, one of which particularly stands out. We now have a Students Serve rap. I kid you not. It is so bad and embarrassing that it’s actually funny. Check it out. You won’t want […]

Meet the Team Episode 1: On Service Learning
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Some Information and a lot of Humor
Saturday, January 26th, 2008We worked today (or yesterday really) to produce two new YouTube videos to present a better idea of what we really do and what were are really like. I will post them about in their own posts. The rap one you’ll see what Angela has been doing in her free time. Enjoy!
A 24-hour Operation
Friday, January 25th, 2008It’s official. Students Serve is back in the game. We even operate on a 24-hour basis. We can be the Wal-Mart of nonprofit organizations. Now that’s a claim to fame. Trey, our Director of the Web campaign, and I realized that he goes to bed incredibly late and I wake up at about the same […]
Back on Top
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Alright, so I’m back and on top of calls for today. Hopefully I will have some luck getting in touch with these people. If not, oh well. In the meantime, we have our first full meeting tonight at 7:30. I think it will be in my room instead of the lounge we usually use. The […]
Persistence is Crucial
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008So yesterday I continued with the calls and found that my streak of luck has temporarily ended. I wasn’t able to actually speak to anyone and many of the numbers I had found through Google and the White Pages were wrong. However, I did reach the secretary for Harold McGraw III of the McGraw-Hill textbook […]
