Today, a fellow classmate, and good friend, and I went to the Shalom Center to provide information about the Earned Income Credit for a social work project. As we were walking in, coach Kelvin Sampson yelled at me for wearing flip-flops. He was accompanied by some players and another coach.\nMy friend and I got to talking and were thinking about how great it is that coach Sampson has his players and coaches volunteer. We spoke with an employer there and he said that Coach wanted his players to not forget there is life off campus. Coach Sampson started having his players volunteer in Oklahoma and wanted to continue that here in Bloomington. The employee also told us he inspired the soccer team to get involved. So the men’s soccer team volunteers on Wednesdays and the men’s basketball team on Fridays.\nGreat work, Coach Sampson – and I’ll quit wearing flip-flops when it’s 40 degrees.
