Christian Opportunity Center Administrative Associate Christina Edsall presented alongside representatives from Central College at the Campus Compact 30th Anniversary Conference in Boston.

Edsall, who also serves as COC’s Volunteer Coordinator, teamed up with Central’s Cheri Doane, Peggy Fitch, and Linda Laine to discuss COC and Central’s efforts during the four-day conference earlier this month.

She shared general information about COC, services COC provides, and provided a history of its partnership with Central, describing the impact of volunteer experiences on both Central students and people supported by COC.

“It was great to be able to share about COC’s partnership with Central,” Edsall said in a statement. “Other organizations were able to learn from what we do and apply it in their communities.

“This trip also strengthened our relationship with Central, as I was able to learn more about the challenges facing the college and they were able to learn more about the challenges facing COC. It gave us a better perspective and greater appreciation for one another.”

COC Executive Director Rod Braun said this conference may open the door for Edsall to attend and contribute to future conferences in the state of Iowa and beyond.
