Volunteering at Taste of OSU

On Friday, February 15th I volunteered for an hour and a half at Taste of OSU in the Ohio Union. I used this event to fulfill my service requirement. I was a part of the green team, so I helped make sure that everything was clean around the dining areas. I also helped direct some of the food booth workers to where they should deposit the tickets they had earned throughout the evening, and I helped direct the people attending events to the places where tickets were sold. My shift was near the end of the event so I also aided in the final clean up of the area. It was nice to know that my work helped Taste of OSU run more smoothly, and it was interesting to walk around and observe some of the different booths set up for the countries.

Although the work I did does not relate directly to international affairs, I was still able to learn about the event and watch some of the different performances. Before my shift began, I went to a couple stations and tried some of the foods, and I was able to view some of the dancing performances going on. Many of the dance performances I saw were Korean pop groups, although I also saw an all-male Indian group and a traditional Chinese group.

Overall, I had a great time at Taste of OSU and I was glad to help out with the event. I hope I will have the chance to attend the next couple of years.
