Clark University graduate Brad Powers would be the first to take pride in his old school’s latest worthy venture. The university has established a Community Engagement and Volunteering (CEV) Center. This center will be the perfect way for all those associated with the university – students, staff and faculty – to help the Worcester community through useful service in the community. This center will show those who get involved how to positively affect others while learning how to be a leader and at the same time, benefit from all that Worcester has to offer. Indeed, such a venture isn’t new for a community like Worcester which enjoys a long history of student involvement. Nonetheless, this center will be more of a central body where this kind of important work can take place.
Brad Powers and CEV
Anyone who studied at Clark University would be thrilled to take part in a center like the Community Engagement and Volunteering one. Brad Powers is definitely someone to talk to when it comes to gaining leadership skills, as can be seen, for example, in his founding of the Active Response Group in 2004 which sought to “provide marketers, agencies, and brand managers a way to simultaneously increase revenues, decrease costs and get closer to their consumers.” If this new Center fulfills its aim of helping students find an active role in the community, and learn what it means to be a leader via communal work, then Brad Powers is certainly someone who would support it.
