Service Learning Dialogue Day
September 7, 2001

agenda

"I have changed for the better because of my internship experience. Before I began the internship I believed that I cared about other people simply because I had never acted with intent to hurt another. However, I have learned that when nice people fail to act, that inaction can be injurious or even fatal for others. During my internship I came to the realization that it is not someone else's responsibility, but mine and every other American's."
-- Sandy, Mesa Community College Student
