Introductions
USM has new AmeriCorps VISTAs for 2010-2011's upcoming academic year, they are:
Amanda Drapcho, Community Service Coordinator-Amanda has recently moved back to the Northeast after serving two years in West Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer. She enjoys foreign films, philanthropy, and higher education. She's anxiously awaiting for students to stop in, say hi, and get involved in some Community Service Learning here at USM.
Emma Catherine Perry will be joining the Office of Community Service Learning as a Mentoring Coordinator. Emma grew up on the New Hampshire seacoast, and studied art history at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. After graduating in 2009, she has worked as an eighth grade Spanish teacher, an elementary school art instructor, and was most recently an education intern at the Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum in Marfa, Texas. She's happy to be back in New England (especially for the fall!), and is very excited to start work at USM! In addition to developing mentoring projects in Portland, Emma also hopes to help students find service opportunities that directly relate to art and creative writing.
