The Smith Master Student Association (SMSA) and affiliated specialty masters clubs at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business recently voted to establish the Master Service Learning Club (MSLC). MSLC will serve as a bridge between non-profit organizations and Smith masters students. The club will organize public service events to contribute to the community and to enrich students’ volunteering experience. Events planned by MSLC include but are not limited to the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), which is a free tax return preparation services for qualifying individuals.
The club will be led by MS in accounting student Sharon (Xuyang) Zhou, who will serve as president. “MSLC is dedicated to establishing relationships with non-profit organizations and providing students with more perspectives in the non-profit world and exciting volunteering experiences,” said Zhou. She is joined by four additional officers, Junyang Ji, Minli Dai, Hao Li, and Jenny Shin. Samuel Handwerger, a faculty member in the Accounting & Information Assurance Department at the Smith School will serve as MSLC’s advisor.
