Davies Service Leader

• Sep 2012 - May 2013

The Davies Community Service Leader Program integrates Allegheny students into organizations across the Meadville area for the course of a full academic year or summer. Distinct from other service-learning programs, Davies Community Service Leaders do not simply work as volunteers, but rather collaborate as active partners with community organizations on unique projects. One of the many goals of the Davies Program is to work towards furthering the Allegheny tradition of campus-community partnership and civic engagement. During my service work with the Davies program, I was an ambassador between Allegheny College and Wesbury Retirement Community, located in Meadville. I was responsible for leading line dance classes and helping the Activities Director, Greg Brink, with data entry. During my spring semester, Greg and I put together an Improv Class specifically designed to help individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer's or dementia. These classes consisted of drum circles, theater exercises and movement. Before and after each class, I would record the blood pressure and heart rate of each individual. Over the course of seven classes, we saw a reduction of blood pressures and a lowering of resting heart rates. Show less
