And in less than a year, through that position, I would with others to build the university's first office of Community Service.

在不到一年的時間里,我和其他人一起努力建立了芝加哥大學的第一個社區(qū)服務辦公室。今天,該辦公室還在繼續(xù)為學生們提供機會,讓他們幫助重塑大學與周邊社區(qū)的關系。如今,那里的學生們在當地小學做志愿者,到當地中學做輔導員,組織鄰里監(jiān)督,到當地教堂做禮拜。
But you know a little something about working with your community here, don't you, Merced?UC Merced, its faculty and its students seem to already have a handle on this need and it speaks once again to the character of this community.

你們多少知道一點和你們社區(qū)一起工作的事情,不是嗎,摩賽德的同學們?加州大學摩賽德分校的教職員工和學生們似乎已經掌握了這種需求,這再次說明了這個社區(qū)的特性。隨著我對你們多做的事情有更深一步的了解,我就更深刻地體會到學生們、教職員工以及社區(qū)居民如何通力合作以保證該社區(qū)的每個孩子都能明白,只要他們努力學習,不惹麻煩,在這樣一個規(guī)模宏大而又美麗的大學里就有他們的一席之地。
