Calvin Johnson; to tackle a global sanitation

Perhaps better known for his skills as a wide receiver, third-year Management major Calvin Johnson has nevertheless proven himself to be much more than just a star football player.Johnson dedicated his time to service as he worked to solve sanitation problems that are currently present in Bolivia.

During the 2006 summer, Georgia Tech Research Institute was given the option of working on either constructing environmentally friendly luxury condos, or a project building solar latrines to improve sanitation in Bolivia. Johnson chose the latter, as he wanted to help the less fortunate. He also traveled to Bolivia in January 2007 as part of the project.

"I just get the satisfaction of being able to help somebody," Johnson said.
