A student hopes to bring a new club to campus at Oklahoma City University.
Nick Sayegh, finance/economics/accounting freshman, will be bringing the club Circle K International to Oklahoma City University in hopes of encouraging servant leadership and providing ways to help the community.
“Circle K is a college-focused leadership and service organization, where we will be primarily focusing on volunteering in the community, building leaders here on campus, and just making OCU a more leadership and service-oriented university,” Sayegh said.
Circle K is the collegiate form of Kiwanis Club, an international community of groups and programs, all centered around community outreach and service. Sayegh said he hopes to connect with members on a local and national level.
Sayegh said an important aspect of service Circle K International OCU will be focusing on is servant leadership.
“My personal definition of servant leadership is strictly empowering other people. There’s so many other factors, but it comes down to empowering those around you either by mentoring, or pouring resources out into other people,” Sayegh said.
Sayegh said Circle K will be a very valuable resource for Oklahoma City by adding connections to Kiwanis, allowing students to network and by increasing OKC’s visibility.
Sayegh said he encourages students to get involved.
“We’re currently looking for five student leaders to fill those chairs and committee seats up, as we’re still in the chartering development phase. We’re hoping to have actual meetings and start doing activities in the 2021-2022 academic fall year. We’ll be recruiting at that point as well,” Sayegh said.
Sonia Ruiz, finance/marketing/economics freshman, said she thinks it will be a great opportunity.
“I think it will be fun. I think it’ll be a great way to get students who are on campus involved directly in the community and to be a part of an established organization,” Ruiz said.
Students who would like to participate can follow Circle K International on Instagram @ocu.cki to access their link tree to access committee forms and member interest forms.
