Leadership in Hunger Awareness

(Toledo, Ohio) University of Toledo students collected canned goods yesterday as part of their studies in hunger awareness leadership. The Levis Leadership class hosted the can collection event. Food collected will go to feed some people.

In all candor, the collection of cans is quite a simple task that doesn't appear to have anything to do with leadership. After all, in states with mandatory deposits on cans, vagrants push around carts and collect cans all day long for pocket change. The only difference between collecting cans for hunger awareness and collecting cans for pocket change is that some are full and some are empty.

And, once again, the act of collecting cans doesn't seem to be even remotely related to acquiring and maintaining leadership skills. If it were so, vagrancy would be a prerequisite step toward becoming an industry or government titan.

Nevertheless, it's likely that once the glow of can collection do-gooderism wanes, the leadership students will be anxious to recharge with an obesity awareness event.
