Jennifer Lawson Goes Global

Jennifer Lawson, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, volunteered her Spring Break as a member of Global Brigades. Global Brigades is the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Their vision is to improve quality of life and their mission is to resolve global health and economic disparities through the empowerment of student volunteers such as Jennifer. During her time with Global Brigades, Jennifer participated in a medical brigade for three days in Honduras. There, the brigade established a medical clinic and saw over 400 patients. The experience offered development of valuable leadership skills and allowed Jennifer to reflect on the luxuries we utilize every day. Jennifer said that from this experience “I have learned to never take the modern medical care we have for granted. The majority of people I saw during this experience had never received any type of medical treatment or care before. The simplicity of their lives and health problems shed light on the amenities we take for granted on a daily basis.”
