Honors Scholar Updates
As many of you know, your Service Leadership statements are due by May 29th as part of your Honors Scholar application. For those of you who may not have yet started your service leadership, you may be wondering how, if at all, this can be done now that we are experiencing Shelter In Place during the pandemic. In fact, there are a few ways you can still fulfill this requirement for your honors application.
- Become a Foothill College Technology Ambassador- The Foothill College Ambassador program is hiring students who can help support fellow students with their software, hardware, and computer difficulties. If you are hired, you can definitely use this experience as a form of service leadership.
- Document the ways you are helping your family during this time: We are all experiencing a different way of life these days, and many of use may be taking on bigger roles at home, caring for siblings, or running errands outside of the house to limit exposure to our families. You can use these experiences as a basis for your service leadership!
- Document the ways you are helping your community during this time: Are you grocery shopping for an elderly neighbor? Or perhaps you're making fabric masks or hand sanitizer for your friends and family? Anything you do during this time to help others outside of your home deal with the requirements and limitations of Shelter in Place can be something you write about for your service leadership.
