Chapter Spotlight
Washburn University
The Washburn University ALD chapter’s main focus of community service was on lending a “paw” at the local “Helping Hands Humane Society,” where homeless dogs and cats throughout the Topeka area are brought in and sheltered in hopes to one day have a warm home and loving family. 2010 was the first year the Shelter hosted “Tails on the Trail,” a 5K run/walk for both man and his best friend, and all proceeds from the event went to supporting the shelter as it gets ready to move to a bigger, newly renovated building to keep the animals safe.

Christina has been a member of ALD since 2006 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. Completing a double-major in Philosophy and Neuroscience in 2010, Christina applied for an ALD Fellowship to help fund her professional studies in law school. Christina’s ALD Fellowship is just one of many awards she’s received in her higher-education career – you’ll also find her name on the lists of USC Trustee Scholars, Gold Family Scholarship recipients, and AP Scholars with Distinction.
Christina writes: “My active involvement in ALD has enabled me to develop meaningful and fulfilling friendships with my equally-inspired (and inspring!) peers… I realize that I met many of my closest college friends during my freshman year, through ALD events.”
