2016 Civic Engagement Award
Congratulations to Sandy Flores, current PHD student in the School Psychology Program on receiving the 2016 Civic Engagement Award by the Council of Graduate Programs, Loyola University Chicago. The awards committee selected her from among many qualified applicants. In writing their report, they stated “Sandy was selected because of her extensive volunteer and service work, particularly with the SitStayRead program. Her faculty advisor and the director of the SitStayRead program both pointed to her substantive contributions and volunteer work to improve the effectiveness and reach of the program towards serving at risk youth. Her research activities are also illustrative of her commitment to social justice and improving the conditions of children both in Chicago and in developing countries.” Again congratulations
