The Emory Wheel - A global approach to volunteerism: Group links students with nonprofits

The Emory Wheel - A global approach to volunteerism: Group links students with nonprofits: "SCEEN allows students to be academically involved in the issues, as opposed to fund raising, campaigning or service projects with more immediate results,” said Lucila Crena, an executive member of SCEEN. “We require all sorts of skills ranging from politics to economics.”

This semester, SCEEN has a full plate with three major projects in the works.

The organization will conduct a case study for a nonprofit organization that donates medical supplies to other countries, creating a standardized report to analyze areas that need improvement in the governments of countries such as Uganda, and investigating the investment prospects of nongovernmental organizations in Senegal."
