About the Author

We are Baylee Behrens and Brendan Myers. We are both second-year LEAD Scholars and also both Burnett Honors Scholars. In Brad Crawford's LDR 3215 Leadership And Spirituality: An Advanced Leadership Experience course, we have both learned the importance of showing our spiritual beliefs in our leadership style. This led us to volunteer at Knights Pantry, and we would like to thank all of the pantry staff for allowing us to serve them and our community.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Throughout this semester, we were both weekly volunteers at the Knights Helping Knights Pantry, a food pantry on the UCF campus that provides free food for current students. Our duties included processing donations, stocking the shelves, greeting students at the front desk, answering phone calls, and operating the checkout station. Our LEAD Scholars course taught us a lot about connecting our leadership styles with our spiritual beliefs. Being able to support this organization in its mission to provide students with free accessible food was something that we greatly enjoyed, and that allowed us to be involved with something that aligned with our personal spiritual beliefs that we should give back to those in need when we are in a position to be able to.
