How to Make an Impact on Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

We’ve all had moments where we want to change the world for the better, but we don’t know where to start. Start by positively impacting your campus! This can be done in a number of ways: volunteering, starting a nonprofit, creating a new club on campus, etc. We’ve highlighted some of the ways you can positively change your campus below. By changing your campus for the better, you can create a better world. Positively impacting your campus may seem like a small act, but through small acts of change the world can become a better place. 

Join an organization 

When you join a campus organization that helps students, workers, or a cause that you are passionate about, your actions will help people and the campus will be positively affected by you.

Get an on-campus job

Next, get a campus job that supports your values. While you’re making money, you will also be positively changing the lives of the people around you.

 

 

Put yourself out there and make new friends

Lastly, make new friends. This may not sound like a lot, but when you open up your social circle to include more people, you will be able to positively impact more people around you. By making new friends, you are changing someone’s life for the better.

Hi, I'm Briahna and I'm a fourth year at UCSB; majoring in anthropology. I'll start with a quote "it's never been true, not anywhere at any time, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale"- Geneen Roth. Sometimes in this big wide world I do feel small but I am reminded by this quote that I am much more than anything that can be measured by a scale, a grade point average or society standards of what a woman should be. My value is dependent by the standards I set for myself.
Hi, Collegiettes! I'm Carmen, a Communication major at University of California, Santa Barbara and one of two Campus Correspondents for UCSB. I would love to one day work in either fashion, food, tech, financial services or philanthropy. My dream is to find a job that somehow combines several of those elements. Until I get there, I'll be munching on copious amounts of Trader Joe's dried mango, jamming out to my man, Frank Sinatra, and focusing on creating intriguing content! If you like my writing, talk to me. ;)
