Rosita Lerner
2017 scholar
Rosita Lerner is a senior in Family Science at University of Maryland. She is pursuing two degrees. She is almost finish with one, Family Science, except that she needs to fulfill her internship requirement so she can get her diploma. The other program she is pursuing is Elementary Education. She plans to complete the core program requirements in Spring and Fall of 2018 semesters. Because her schedule will be hectic and she has a disability, she plans to divide her time - doing a few hours in each - among working part time, gain school credit through an internship, and the added bonus of helping others through a volunteer work in an organization that helps the most vulnerable in our society. While she is doing all these, she plans to work part time as a human service professional. She is eyeing and competing to get an internship at Pathways, one of the umbrellas of National Institute of Health. Or she can and want to do a stint in a large international organization that caters to varied citizens of the world.
