Noelle Lopez – Salinas, California – Summer 2008įor a month this past summer Stephanie Wilson and I worked with the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association (ALBA), living at their Triple M Ranch in Watsonville.
She hopes that this experience will help guide her future studies in her majors (Anthropology and Religious Studies) and minors (Spanish and International Relations with Latin America and the Caribbean) as well as benefit her Social Justice internship at SCU. The highlight of Annie’s experience was meeting people: people with real concerns, real dreams, and a real compassion for one another. She also visited 9 migrant labor camps where she was involved with an Outreach Team that distributed medical supplies and provided treatment and health education. She sorted mailing, reviewed insurance billing errors, dispensed Primary Care surveys, read to children in the waiting room, and filed medical records. While at the clinic, Annie immersed herself by working on many different clinic tasks. The clinic, known as Virginia García Memorial Health Center, services those below the federal poverty line especially seasonal farm laborers. The Jean Donovan Summer Fellowship is designed to encourage and support students who desire to deepen their understanding of social justice issues through a summer community-based learning experience.Īnne Murphy-Hagan – Portland, Oregon – Summer 2008ĭriven by a passion for social justice and a desire to learn Spanish, Annie Murphy-Hagan spent her summer working for a non-profit medical healthcare clinic in Cornelius, OR.
