Sophomore Year Part 2–Better Than Most Sequels

January 14th, 2015 embrea17

Hi Friends!

I’m back on campus early this semester to attend the Non-Profit Careers Conference. It is day two and so far it has been a delightful balance of informative and fun! I am extremely interested in non-profit advocacy groups, particularly those involved in the political process, but it is also nice to learn about charitable, religious, and educational organizations. We enjoyed a presentation by an individual involved in development at the Nativity School in Worcester, which provides a high quality education to young boys in low-income families. It was really great to hear about some of their stories, and some of the work that is involved in funding such an important local non-profit.

I am certainly looking forward to all that this semester will bring, and I will do my best to keep you updated on it. From the Vagina Monologues (coming up in February!) to my first experiences with the Honors Program, from traveling to El Paso, TX with the Spring Break Immersion Program to traveling to Quetzaltenango, Guatemala with the Arrupe Immersion Program in May, from working as Student Coordinator of Summer Gateways Orientation to executing the executing the first Agape Latte event at Holy Cross, and so many more interesting and awesome experiences to be had, to say that I’m “looking forward” to this semester is severely understating my anticipation for what the second half of my sophomore year will be like.

Thanks for reading! I’ll be working on door decorations for my residents (I still <3 my RA job by the way) and my case study for the Non-Profit Careers Conference with the Community Harvest Project. Check them out, they’re a really phenomenal organization.

DFTBA
