Lisa McDivitt, Our Lady of the Lake College

Lisa McDivitt, an undergraduate student at Our Lady of the Lake College in Louisiana, is a dedicated and committed student leader active in issues involving civic engagement on all fronts. She is a particularly strong global/world advocate for children’s health rights and was actually involved in a four week medical mission trip to Mombasa, Kenya during the summer of 2012. She has been a leader and a student organizer for Habitat for Humanity Builds in North Baton Rouge for several different home builds. Lisa has been very active with the Student Ambassador group at Our Lady of the Lake College helping adopt families at Christmas through Catholic Charities as well as being involved on campus with over 235 service hours at the College. She is a leader for health rights and has actively excelled in her purpose to serve others – while consistently keeping a 4.0 GPA the entire time. As she prepares for a professional medical career in the future, all of her experiences at the undergraduate level have well prepared her for future service in the foreign mission field that she so clearly envisions as her priority service destination.

Campus Compact's workshops have been extremely valuable. Faculty often become energized by the workshop content and bring that enthusiasm back to campus."
