April 20, 2013 On Saturday, April 20th, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign kicked off National Volunteer Week with an inaugural Community-Campus Day of Service. Over 60 students, faculty and staff worked with six community partners on seven projects to complete pre-construction projects, community garden spring preparation projects, flyering in the community, reorganizing classrooms at Tap in Leadership Academy, cataloging choral literature, and preparing a Bee Garden. A big thank you goes out to all who helped on April 20! Search	Enriching perspectives through community engagement Sang Lee Sang S. Lee FAA 391 Instructor Department of Urban and Regional Planning sanglee7@illinois.edu My first ESLARP experience was as a general volunteer on one of ESLARP's outreach weekends, back in 1999 when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois. My ESLARP experience stayed with me throughout the years while I was working as a canvass director, union organizer, and community organizer. I recently returned to school to earn a Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Illinois, and as a graduate student I had the opportunity to be one of ESLARP's graduate assistants. Working with community members has always been one of my passions, and I look forward to giving new students an opportunity to become engaged in community projects. I am currently teaching FAA 291, Civic Engagement in East St. Louis, and providing website support for ESLARP. Last updated on 7/22/2011
