Hi!

Hi Everyone! Sorry that I am late in posting; I haven't had reliable internet access for the majority of this summer! But, I am so excited to meet and get to know all of you!

Name: Stephanie Burton

Major: Environmental Policy and Elementary Education

Hometown: Colonial Heights, Va (a little city 20 minutes south of Richmond!)

Service Involvements: APO! I mainly volunteer with the READ Adopt a Grandparent program at Dominion Village Nursing Home each week! But I have dabbled in some other volunteer opportunities through APO at the Williamsburg YMCA daycare and with ARC. I have also been fortunate enough to travel on some awesome service trips! I went to Reynosa, Mexico, in May 2007 with Project Mexico to help build a home for a family there (the picture of me is from that trip). I also traveled to Philadelphia this past Spring Break with the Teach for America Spring Break Service Trip. I'm also a part of the Students for Belize Education Service trip!

Favorite Book: I think my favorite is probably Jane Eyre!

Service: I will try to keep my rambling statement concise! I think that one of my favorite aspects of William and Mary and its students is the strong dedication to service that exists on campus and throughout the student body. I have grown up greatly valuing the importance of service, so I knew that when I came to college I wanted to continue being involved in service projects and endeavors. I think that service should and often does manifest itself in all that one does. It isn't confined to a service trip or an hour long weekly committment. Therefore, the opportunities for service are truly endless!
