Recent graduate Virgina Albert, who has her sights set on one day becoming an attorney, was among one of those students selected for their outstanding academic scholarship and passion for working on community issues.

A double major in psychology and philosophy, she was also an Intercultural Leadership Ambassador, an officer of the Multicultural Student Union, a Resident Assistant and an 网赌的十大网站s Ambassador.

Albert says that the work "positively impacted the lives of the individuals and their families by helping them get the proper legal documents together that are necessary to get a job, 一个许可证, and many other basic needs to properly start a new life in the United States.” For that alone she was grateful to have had the opportunity to help.
