The 2025–2026 COT academic year has come to an end, but the COT volunteer spirit continues. On May 16, volunteers gathered at University Park Library to celebrate this year’s achievements and reflect on their goals. 

The event began with volunteers reconnecting with friends, enjoying conversation, and helping set up for the celebration. Soon after, the current officers shared their accomplishments and future goals for each department. They reflected on their outreach, efficiency, and overall growth throughout the year. Every milestone achieved was made possible through the hard work and dedication of every officer in COT. Amazing job to all the officers, and special thanks to the PTA for supporting the organization every step of the way!

Awards and recognition were then presented to outstanding COT volunteers. These hardworking students demonstrated dedication, leadership, and a strong commitment to doing their best for COT.

Afterward, three volunteers shared stories and reflections about their experiences in COT during the past year. The event then paused for a short snack break. Volunteers enjoyed cupcakes, chips, rolls, a variety of fruits, juices, and water while talking with friends and fellow volunteers.

To end the celebration, everyone participated in a fun game of telephone. The activity brought laughter, teamwork, and connection among members, ending the event on a joyful note.

Congratulations on an incredible year, and congratulations to all the award winners! Thank you to all the volunteers, supervisors, PTA members, and both past and current officers for making COT possible.
