OLIVIA CHAN ’13
MAJOR: Biology MINORS: Math, Chemistry, Anthropology
CONSERVATION RESEARCH AT SHEDD AQUARIUM
IMPACT • Before my undergraduate research class, I never really thought about community- based research, or even com- pared it to the type of research I do, which is usually quantitative.
PLANS • Chan plans to continue her re- search before entering medical school. She also plans to continue working at the Shedd.
KATIE MacKENDRICK ’13
MAJORS: English, History MINOR: Catholic Studies
STUDENT INTERN, LIFT-CHICAGO IMPACT • “I have seen situations on all ends of the spectrum, from abused single mothers to incarcerated individuals to PhD holders who needed jobs. … I have this wonderful organization to thank for allow- ing me to see and experience what makes me truly happy, on both good and bad days. LIFT-Chicago has inspired me to become the best individual that I can be in the future and in the present.”
PLANS • “The experiences I’ve had with our clients have taught me that I absolute- ly need to work with people: something that my sister has been telling me all of my life. I need to see that joy, to guide people through their life journeys in some way, to share jokes and smiles and tears.”
MATT RAZEK ’13 MAJOR: Psychology • MINOR: Biology
SERVED AS A RESIDENT ASSISTANT
IMPACT • “Sophomore year, I discovered that my passions did not lie in the field of medicine like I originally thought. My interest became ignited by working with my residents and helping them through person- al, academic, and social situations. I knew my passion from the position and being involved on campus informed my decision that I wanted to spend the rest of my life on a college campus.”
PLANS • “I definitely see myself attending or working at larger, public institutions or Jesuit institutions for my entire career. I am currently applying to graduate programs for a master’s degree in higher education and student affairs.”
ADDALINE STOLL ’13 MAJORS: Psychology, Sociology
CHILDREN’S HOME AND AID: DANIEL F. AND ADA L. RICE CHILD AND FAMILY CENTER
IMPACT • “My academic internship involved working with children who have been severely abused. These children have taught me more about myself than I could have ever hoped to teach them. I now appreciate what I have been blessed with, and never take anyone in my life for granted. I learned that I am very pas- sionate about helping children and their families succeed.”
PLANS • Stoll still works at the Rice Center and, after graduation, hopes to become an employee at either the Rice Child and Family Center or at another location within children’s home and aid before returning to school to earn a master’s degree in social work.
MO SULLIVAN ’13
MAJORS: Communication Studies: Advocacy and Social Change, Interna- tional Studies
MINOR: Spanish Language
TENANT LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE, MERCY HOUSING LAKEFRONT’S HAROLD WASHINGTON BUILDING
IMPACT • “The course opened my eyes to a field for which I am extremely passionate and made me confident that I want to pursue a career that focuses on making positive social change within my community.”
PLANS • Before pursuing a graduate degree, Sullivan hopes to complete a yearlong post-graduate service oppor- tunity in the hopes of working with com- munities and organizations that promote social justice.
WYNN COUGHLIN ’14
MAJOR: Social Work (BSW) MINOR: Women’s Studies & Gender Studies
SOCIAL WORK INTERN, MISERICORDIA HEART OF MERCY’S SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
IMPACT • “I’ve been fortunate to have exposure both to the administrative and the clinical aspects of running a successful social service agency. By observing and interacting with professional social workers and direct support staff, the values of responsibility, integrity, and social justice will definitely stay with me into my next placement.”
PLANS • Coughlin plans to continue on to her master’s in social work.
MICHELLE LOZANO ’15
MAJORS: Psychology, Premed MINOR: Urban Studies
TALLER DE JOSE COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER
IMPACT • “It has always seemed so far- fetched to me that volunteering locally would make a difference, but after my community-based research project and re- search with Taller de Jose, I see that anyone can make a positive difference on a small scale that assists in the larger scale of what the organization aims to achieve.”
PLANS • “I believe I’ve identified what kind of service I want to be a part of, what kind I don’t, and so on. … I’ve furthered my understanding of what it means to be a college student in the realm of service.”
