Taylor Whipple, Park University

Taylor Whipple, a sophomore majoring in psychology with an art minor, discovered a passion for working with physically and emotionally disabled children during her freshman year as part of a service learning course requirement. She has worked through VSA Kansas (previously Accessible Arts) with challenged children to incorporate art and music into their lives as therapy for physical and emotional disabilities. With unwavering focus on a future of service with children, Taylor has researched and advocated the power of art to help the disabled overcome adversity.

Thanks for your continued outstanding leadership at Campus Compact. Your publications and programs are always top-notch. I sincerely appreciate all you have done for us in the trenches."
