Upadhyaya has assisted the Malaysian Drum Troupe with certificate design this year, and has organized promotional material for Campus Life and for the Service-Learning Volunteer Center.
He also helped set up Kick Butts Day and distributed educational materials related to the promotion of a healthy campus.
“While helping various people in their work and working for other special causes, I get to meet new people and interact with them. This means a lot me,” Upadhyaya said.
The OSU Service-Learning Volunteer Center, located in 030B Student Union, promotes the interaction of volunteer work and education. Last year, more than 8,500 OSU students volunteered more than 60,000 hours in the community. Each week the center will present a Servant Leadership Award to an outstanding OSU student volunteer.
