\u201cWe are each born with a gift, and what we do with that gift is a gift to the world,\u201d said Andrew de Vera Cornel, senior in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences<\/a> at the University of Washington Bothell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regular volunteer at the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank, the Filipino Community of Seattle Food Bank and St. Edward Catholic Church, Cornel\u2019s gift to the world is his servant leadership, a philosophy in which the goal of the leader is to serve. At UW Bothell, he has served with the Filipino American 足彩app哪个是正规的 Association, the Associated 足彩app哪个是正规的s of UW Bothell Election Committee, the Associated 足彩app哪个是正规的 Advisory Council, and the Health and Wellness Resource Center Steering Committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAndrew has a servant\u2019s heart and is a rare gem who thrives when he is helping others,\u201d said Teresa Scribner, Cornel\u2019s former high school teacher. \u201cAndrew is hands down one of the greatest people I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. He is simply a great person, and I love that he chooses to be a great person every single day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recognition of the countless contributions Cornel has made in his communities, he has been named one of the UW\u2019s 2022 Husky 100 recipients<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, the University recognizes 100 undergraduate and graduate students from the Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses who are making the most of their time while in college. 足彩app哪个是正规的 recipients actively connect what happens inside and outside of the classroom, applying what they learn to make a difference on campus, in their various communities and for the future. Cornel is one of 11 students from UW Bothell to be recognized last academic year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAndrew is the embodiment of \u2018be the change,\u2019\u201d Scribner said. \u201cHe stands up for his Filipino and UW communities \u2014 and gives 100 percent. He makes it look effortless, but he is one of the hardest working people I know.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornel was taught from an early age to put others first. At St. Edward Catholic School in Seattle, he and his classmates were encouraged to be of service and raise money for local nonprofit organizations \u2014 something he does to this day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At UW Bothell, for example, he served as the fundraising chair for the Filipino American 足彩app哪个是正规的 Association<\/a> during the pandemic when the campus was in remote operations. \u201cI was initially worried about how I was going to fundraise,\u201d he said. \u201cI had done it dozens of times but never online.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He knew, however, that his efforts could make a difference at a critical time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investment for others <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cornel began looking at projects that previous chairs had started and came upon the idea of doing an online auction. Immediately, he knew that was the answer. He worked with fellow fundraising committee members on the team, gathering donations and sponsorships from local businesses including Defensive Driving Schools, Wonton Noodle House, Max\u2019s Restaurant, South King Firefighters Foundation, Capital Industries and Mike\u2019s Shave Ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the donations they assembled breakfast kits with waffle makers, ube waffle mix and coffee mugs as well as dinner kits with various ingredients and bottles of wine. 足彩app哪个是正规的y also sold purses, gift certificates, jewelry from the Philippines and services from local businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornel and fellow members raised more than $4,000, which was used to fund conferences, activities and other expenses for the club. \u201cThis was important to me because I knew that the club didn\u2019t have a lot of money and that previous officers had to utilize their own money for club expenses,\u201d he said. \u201cFASA has always felt like a second home, and the people in it are like my other family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted to invest in the club so that future students could have a similar experience and share in the comfort and joy this club has brought me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ongoing drive and determination <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cornel leveraged his experience as fundraising chair to benefit the larger community, too. Just a month after the online auction, he started a canned food drive. \u201cIn 2020, many people were food insecure, and I wanted to support local Filipinos who were in that situation,\u201d he said. \u201cWe advertised through our FASA meetings, our social media and word of mouth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 drive lasted 10 days and garnered more than 100 pounds of nonperishable foods that the club donated to the Filipino Community Food Bank. 足彩app哪个是正规的 drive also yielded money, school supplies and more than 500 books that club members sent to a school in Alaminos, Philippines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But his efforts didn\u2019t stop there. After seeing the food bank and meeting the people there in person, Cornel decided he wanted to donate his time, too. For the past two years, he has helped the organization on a weekly basis, sorting and packing canned food and fresh produce as well as packing and distributing lunches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is always fulfilling to give your time to the community,\u201d Cornel said. \u201cWe aren\u2019t in this world alone so why not be there for each other and be a helping hand?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passion to make a difference <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cornel is now the president of FASA and is focused on bringing community events back to campus. In May 2022, he helped host a club cultural event that attracted more than 150 guests to enjoy performances, traditional attire and Filipino food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAndrew has shown a dedication to helping build communities through campus organizations and creating spaces for students to express themselves and gather in a safe manner after the 足彩app哪个是正规的 pandemic,\u201d said alumnus Jorge Azpeitia \u201921, a former coworker of Cornel\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is committed to supporting and celebrating diverse cultures, and proactively helps FASA members and other local Filipino communities deepen their understanding, while finding pride in their identity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to the future, Cornel said one of his life goals is to start a nonprofit: 足彩app哪个是正规的 Andrew Cornel Foundation. \u201cThis is how I will use my passion to make a difference,\u201d he said. \u201cMy spark for helping others has been ignited, and I will never let the flame extinguish.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
