Allthree of the blythes were purchased because I wanted a blythe with black hair, I bought Love Mission first but then a Goldie popped up a fantastic price and then I fell in love with Rosie Red so I bought her too. I might end up selling Love Mission as I feel I kind of settled on her and I only really need two blythes with black hair (well I only really need one but I am not willing to give up Rosie Red or Goldie without a fight).
I bought the Sephiroth statue because I am currently playing through Crisis Core and it struck me that I did not have enough figures of him (he being one of the extremely few males I will actually buy multiple figures of).
Our HSSJ community is, as ever, incredibly active. In this newsletter, we will recognize the outstanding service and scholarship that we have contributed to our field and the D.C. metro area. In particular, we would like to recognize our students Adam Graubart, Venkata Jagan Doodala and Zaniya Lewis who do amazing research, social entrepreneurship and service activities. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Emily Morrison for her long-time service as program director. Dr. Morrison remains in the program continuing her scholarship, teaching and advising.
In the spring, we undertook a study to determine where our graduates in the past five years have gone after leaving the program. The post-university paths of our alumni demonstrate a rich tapestry of experiences. For those working, the vast majority hold or have held jobs within our HSSJ field, most of those in nonprofits. Alumni also work in education (at schools and institutions), business (often in corporate philanthropy/grants giving), health and government. For those pursuing graduate studies, they concentrate primarily in fields that correspond to HSSJ, such as public policy/administration, education, social work, law and public health, among others. A few alumni have done prestigious gap year programs, such as Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Teach for America and KIPP, while two received distinguished Fulbright awards.
It was amazing and inspiring learning of all the wonderful work our graduates do. We love hearing about your accomplishments! Please stay in touch by email or join our private LinkedIn group: GW Human Services and Social Justice Program.
Please consider staying involved with HSSJ by becoming a guest speaker, a site supervisor, attending campus events and financially supporting our program. In particular, we currently seek matching funds for our capstone course philanthropy project that we do in partnership with the Learning by Giving Foundation.
Currently Adam is doing a gap year before he begins rabbinical school at Hebrew Union College in July 2020. Since graduating, he has been working in Massachusetts and plans to travel to South America to work on vineyards. We wish him the best of luck in the future, and offer our sincerest congratulations for this amazing prize!
Jagan and Christian created the WATTerWagon after examining the many hazards to women and children in rural Asia and Africa who have to trek miles just to find a clean water source. While there are already many NGOs which work to provide clean water to these areas, Jagan noticed a flaw in those aid efforts. Specifically, they do not account for gaps in transportation or carrying capacity. Rather than turning a blind eye to this issue, the team worked tirelessly to formulate a sustainable and affordable solution: the WATTerWagon. Their invention uses assistive motors powered by a solar-powered charging battery system; therefore, allowing faster transportation of high quantities of water as well as decreasing the number of water-runs and time it takes to complete these water-runs. Inevitably, this will also help decrease the risks to women and children who are responsible for these trips.
Erica Walls has returned to the HSSJ department after finishing her PhD in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, focusing on social policy and gender studies. During her time away, Dr. Walls was diagnosed with breast cancer and is thankfully in remission. She sought and found help from the D.C.-area nonprofit Breast Care for Washington, which seeks to lower the breast cancer mortality rate in the District. Dr. Walls is now an advocate for the nonprofit and is interested in becoming a board member in the future. She is glad to have returned to such a warm welcome and is excited to continue her teaching with us, in addition to her research on women's leadership and social entrepreneurship. Welcome back, Dr. Walls!
