The McConnell Scholars Program is based on the tenets of Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. One of the biggest drawing factors of the program and the university for me was the emphasis on service and community involvement. I have had the opportunities and experiences of volunteering in schools, occupational therapy centers, medical camps, and a number of other places in the city of Louisville. This barely scratches the surface of opportunities. This year our brilliant and talented service chairwoman Mary Kennedy has done a tremendous job of working with community agencies such as Americana Community Center and the Ronald McDonald House to provide a plethora of service opportunities for the McConnell Scholars. I am excited for the next year to come and am very excited for the new class of McConnell Scholars to commit themselves to all 3 tenets of the program!
