Elizabeth Collins, Montana State University Billings

Elizabeth Collins, a Junior at Montana State University Billings, serves as the campus Student United Way President, encouraging other students to give, advocate and volunteer in the areas of education, income and health. Elizabeth is serving an AmeriCorps term of service at St. John’s Lutheran Ministries Nursing Home. Her passion for service extends beyond the boundaries of Montana, as she served in Mississippi’s hurricane relief efforts and in an orphanage in Tijuana.

Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way."
