Manchester University student Kendall Brown of Tecumseh, Mich., is among a select group of students across the nation accepted into the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty internship program.
The students are placed in an eight-week immersive internship to help strengthen impoverished areas or populations, mainly through education, health care, legal services, housing, social and economic needs, and community-building efforts.
Brown, who will be a sophomore this fall,is double majoring in Spanish and peace studies with a double minor in teaching English to speakers of other languages and international studies. She is spending the summer coordinating a bilingual summer camp at Sacred Heart Center in Richmond, Va.
