“As an international student at UMSL, I really enjoy volunteering on and off campus. Volunteering not only gives me the opportunities to help the others in the community, but it also allows me to meet a lot of new people. If you spend a little bit of time, you can make a difference in someone’s life” -Lai-Ping “Pinky” Yan
