COLLEGE OF EDUCATION College COMMUNIQUE ` November 2010 Student Highlights (continued from pg. 7) STUDENT “Kids from the neighborhood stopped to stare as we worked to build the playground,” she says. “It was a great feeling knowing that I was helping make a place for them to play and have fun. I cannot wait to show people what we helped build.” Humes, Ferrell and Brenner represented the Dean’s Dozen, a group of extraordinary students who act as ambassadors, spreading their enthusiasm for the college and UA across numerous events that include admissions, academic and alumni/ donor activities. They also advise the administration on key issues facing students and participate in leadership and servicelearning activities. “I would have to say that building a playground in one day was the most meaningful experience that we have provided for our members of the Dean’s Dozen,” says Waltonen-Moore. “This event had civic engagement in mind and it was very rewarding to participate in this event. At one point I looked across the street and three of the children from the community had set out a blanket and they watched for several hours as a team of 200 volunteers constructed their playground. You could see the excitement in the community and it was very rewarding.” Student Receives STEM Scholarship Rebecca Woloschyn was the recent recipient of the Choose Ohio First STEM Scholarship. Rebecca is also the recipient of the First National Bank Scholarship and Wayne College Founders Scholarship. Rebecca is currently a student in the Postsecondary Technical Education program. -8-
