by Lily Oneal, for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship.
This semester I worked with Education Rocks, a non profit organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through education. U.S children get the unique experience to sponsor a child's education in a developing country and become pen pals with them creating authentic relationships with one another. Symposium theme: Building authentic relationships in this unique time.
This project was part of Abbie Weiner’s course, COMM 1041: Interpersonal Communication. Students in this course learn the theories and principles of interpersonal communication while engaging in service-learning with local after-school programs, job training programs, and other service organizations.
