“I would deem participation in any community service to be an example of leadership, because it takes a leader to give up time or effort for a cause they will most likely not see individual benefit from.”

OSV Leaders
Haley Bilbray
A summer 2011 addition to the OSV family, Haley is a junior chemistry major. She was most impacted by a volunteering experience at her first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K after her mom survived breast cancer. They were able to complete the walk and have continued to participate for the past 11 years. Fun Fact: Haley is a grammar, typing, formatting and spelling fanatic.
Leah Collum
Bringing happiness to the OSV since fall 2011, Leah is a freshman neuroscience major, minoring in Spanish and Hispanic studies. Her life goal is to become a neurologist so that she can help people lead pain-free lives. Her most memorable volunteer experience was working in Chicago with local families to build a “safe house” church. Fun Fact: Leah’s all-time favorite movies are “The Fifth Element,” “Fight Club” and “Shinobi: Heart Under Blade.”
Aakriti Gupta
Always wanting to join the OSV, Aakriti’s aspirations were realized when she became a student leader in spring 2012. She is an electrical engineering major with a minor in economics. Her most fond volunteer experience has been at a local hospital where she started an educational awareness program on female foeticide. Fun Fact: Aakriti loves the TV show “Glee” and is a true Gleek!
Matthew Wyder
Matt is a senior, double majoring in finance and accounting, and has been with the OSV since fall 2010. His favorite volunteering experiences have been his past two ASB trips. He was privileged to work with the homeless in Washington, DC and teach children career skills in New York. Fun Fact: Nothing scares Matt more than bees or wasps. Even the buzzing sound is enough to send shivers down his spine.
Michael Burleson
Michael joined the OSV in November 2012. Michael is a sophomore pre-law student. His most memorable volunteer experience was with the Comet Service Coalition where he organized a tornado relief effort for the city of Lancaster. Fun Fact: Michael often delivers seemingly random, but often slightly topical, movie quotes.
