V.I.T.A. STUDENTS RECOGNIZED

According to an estimate by the Internal Revenue Service, Kania School of Management students contribute the equivalent of $500,000 worth of labor each year through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA). During the 7-week program coordinated by Joe Hammond of the Accounting Department, students help local low-income and elderly people complete their tax returns. In 2007 the University’s VITA program received a commendation from the IRS for “your commitment, exceptional achievement in promoting e-filing, and outstanding contributions to the communities you serve.”

Over the last several years the number of people served by VITA students has increased steadily. More difficult to measure is the value to the students who participate. Not only does the program provide the opportunity to apply what they are learning in the classroom, but it can deepen their understanding of those who struggle economically. One student’s question, “How can they live on that income?” invites further reflection on how our society is structured.
