Wooooo, Mark Chou!

As College Democrats, we not only try to promote progressive values on campus, but also strive to be constructive members of our society.  Community service, therefore, is something that is near and dear to many of us.  That said, our very own Soph(omore)Dem, Mark Chou, was one of 826michigan’s Volunteers of the Month. 826michigan is a wonderful non-profit in Ann Arbor devoted to helping young students to improve their expository writing skills through amazing, interactive workshops and daily drop-in tutoring. It’s a great place to volunteer, and 826michigan appreciates all the volunteers they get! Let’s see what they had to say about Mark.

Mark is our tutoring intern, and we could not ask for a better one. He knows all the tutors and students not only by name, but also by capabilities and needs. He can expertly match students with the ideal tutor. He’s also always around to help and answer questions, as well as calm a distracted student and fire up a tired one. We like to say he’s nineteen going on thirty-seven. He’s unbelievably reliable, outstandingly in-control, and well, perfect. He has been such a source of relief to us this semester! Thank you for everything you’ve helped us with this fall, Mark, we could not have done it without you! (from 826 website)

Congratulations, Mark! Keep up the good work!
