Zachary Aitouddahi, Graduate in Psychology
Service matters at Oklahoma State University. Recent OSU Psychology graduate and Moore resident, Zachary Aitouddahi, was honored for his commitment to community service by receiving OSU’s honorary service CORD. Aitouddahi was recognized along with 21 other CORD recipients.
OSU’s Service-Learning Volunteer Center recognizes outstanding student volunteers by rewarding them with an honorary orange graduation CORD. Upon graduation, undergraduates who have served 400 hours and graduate students who have served 300 hours of community service will qualify for an honorary orange CORD.
Aitouddahai has served 400 community service hours as an OSU undergraduate. Many of his hours were spent coordinating the 2009 Black-Out Texas game and building homes with Habitat for Humanity.
His most meaningful service activity as an OSU student was the Black-Out Texas game, from which he learned to work with large-groups of people and act as a liaison between charities and donors.
Regarding this experience, Aitouddahi said, “I am happy that I could prove what one person working with a group of students can do on our campus!”
Next year’s Student Government Association President Ashley Leonard and Vice President Kyle Buthod also worked with Aitouddahi on the Black-Out Texas project. Both plan to qualify for the CORD.
