Alumni Experiences

Alumni Experiences featured two local alumni who shared how their student experiences in community engagement have influenced their early careers and how the skills they gained through working with community partners have transferred to their professional lives. Break-out sessions explored how to maximize volunteer recruitment and how to deepen the volunteer experiences of students while meeting the needs of the community organization.

Guest speakers were:

• Mike Handzo, Project Coordinator of the Lehigh Valley Community Land Trust
• Brooke Kohler, Director of Mindfulness Programs, Shanthi Project
