Hello! I'm Danielle Mcgrew,

​...and I am a second year ambassador for the LOU Volunteer Connection. My role is to serve, promote and advocate for organizations in our community. I support our community and encourage other volunteers by putting boots on the ground. I’ve found my place in several organizations and special events- celebrating service and supporting MS Critterz during National Volunteer Week, encouraging creativity with tissue paper flowers to OPC day campers, or even just being a smiling, familiar face to represent past, current and future local volunteers. I’ve been in this position since January, and I have loved getting to play a bigger role in this awesome organization!
 
I am originally from Gulfport, MS, but Oxford has been my home for the past four years. I just graduated from Ole Miss in May with my bachelors in pharmaceutical sciences. But, won’t completely finish for another three years of pharmacy school- 1 year in Oxford, and 2 years in Jackson at the Medical Center. I am very thankful for one more year of Rice and Spice, game days, tulips on campus in the spring, and Christmas lights on the Square in December.
 
I really became involved with the Oxford community last year - I started pharmacy school and I was encouraged by faculty to go out, find something I’m passionate about, and serve others. So that’s exactly what I did! I found that I love getting involved with literally anything I can. It is so fun and rewarding to be able to meet so many new people and learn so much about different nonprofits that I didn’t even know existed here in Oxford, all while making a difference. I was able to get plugged into all these opportunities through Volunteer Connection!
 
I encourage you to go out and see where you can make a change - and Volunteer Connection is always here to help play a role in helping you find somewhere you can rock!
