Cam Nguyen, Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania

Cam Nguyen, a sophomore at Gettysburg College, is actively involved with the Center for Public Service, addressing the meaning of service and the root causes of social issues.  As a program coordinator, she recruits college volunteers and facilitates their experiences to meet the needs of IMPRINT, an after-school program.  She also engages in racial and gender justice dialogues to gain greater understanding of social issues and create strategies for change.  As a Heston summer intern, she will connect new college students with the greater Gettysburg community and emphasize their responsibility to act against social injustices and create social change.
