Danielle Beckey feels like she’s come a long way from her Brighton High School days, when she was an involved student, but still a follower.

The 2005 Brighton High School graduate, now a 21-year-old junior at Central Michigan University, has stepped to the front and is blazing her own path…

…Her efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Beckey recently received the Heart and Soul award from the Michigan Campus Compact as part of its annual Outstanding Student Service Awards event. The award is given to students in recognition of their personal commitment through service.

The experience of interacting with some of the [homeless] people on the streets was an eye-opener. You leave those types of experiences with a mix of emotions--hope, disgust, love, grief--but I always leave motivated to do more."

-Taryn Anderson, Ohio Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA member, Capital University
