History of One Love:

One Love was founded in the Fall of 2008.  One Love accepted its first members in the Spring of 2009 and has continued to grow.  One Love has 6 committees and boasts over 70 members each year.  The continued success of the members and events of One Love has helped provide a more beautiful campus. 

One Love's Mission Statement:

"We are a group of like minded individuals dedicated to finding and showing others the beauty in life every day through loving others, yourself, and the world around you. We put on events and programs that enhance the overall wellness and satisfaction of life as well as help people learn to care for and respect the world we live in. We want to help people weave a common thread of love throughout all aspects of their life."

Past Success:

• Last year One Love's Environmental Committee helped to pass the Green Fund Intiative on Texas A&M's campus as a contributing member of Texas A&M's Sustainability Council.  This initiative will provide funding to all students who wish to start a program on campus that will help the environment.  They also provided volunteers for Keep Brazos Beautiful and organized a beach clean up in Galveston for the past 2 years.
  
  
• Furthermore, in the past 2 years, One Love's Special Events Committee has raised over $1,000 dollars for To Write Love on Her Arms - a non-profit organization that provides assistance to those who are at-risk for committing suicide. Special Events also increases the name recognition of One Love throughout campus through events which seek to beautify campus through art and music.
  
  
• Party Pick-Ups has recycled for several large events on campus including The Big Event and Elephant Walk preventing waste and protecting the environment. Party Pick Ups was recently recognized by Keep Brazos Beautiful for their work in sustainability.
  
  
• The money raised by One Love's Fundraising committee has benefitted people with home and food insecurity, as well as children who do not have homes or were orphaned by their parents.  It has also funded many of the other projects that we do such as Galveston Beach Clean Up and Party Pick Ups.
  
  
• One Love's Community Outreach Committee has helped to raise awareness of social injustice and has helped to mitigate these issues by volunteering in the community. Last semester, Community Outreach screened the Invisible Children Film screen and donated items to a local orphanage.
  
  
• One Love's Social Committee has strengthened the bonds between the members and directors of One Love enabling us to better serve the community and campus.  The Social Committee makes it a point to recognize all of the directors and members for their hard work in the community and within One Love at the Banquet each year.
