The University has over 800 student organizations — students can choose to involve themselves in the arts, debate, advocacy, politics, sports, dance and far more. A focus for many groups, however, is service. Students volunteer their time to support local, national and even global causes. Despite these efforts, professors, fellow students and external communities voice ethical concerns with students volunteering outside the University community. In particular, issues with power dynamics and the long-term impacts of student volunteering have yet to be addressed at a large scale.

Every morning, Angelic Jenkins starts her day by preparing batches of mac and cheese, collard greens and fried fish. Once she opens her food truck, Angelic’s Kitchen, at 11 a.m., she and her husband will sell her famous fried fish, hushpuppies and sides until they close at 7 p.m. Her business is the result of years of work. Jenkins — whose business started as a festival booth — has slowly expanded her cooking from one festival to 20 festivals. She then began to cater before moving to working full-time in her food truck.

As developers in China rush to build dams along the Mekong River in southeast Asia, villagers are seeing their fish disappear, their rice fields die and their homes flooded. Although China can feel far from home, the impact of unnecessary dam construction for the sole purpose of hydroelectric power generation is ubiquitous. These large dams work to generate hydroelectric power by harnessing the movement of flowing water to rotate large turbines. However, hydroelectric dams not only cause flooding in the surrounding land environment but they also prevent the free movement of aquatic life and nutrients along the river leading to issues with food, jobs and homes. Therefore, building these dams poses far greater consequences for the river’s ecosystem — and its inhabitants — than is gained by the renewable nature of hydroelectric power.
