Heyoo-

My name is Courtney Morin and I’m going into my senior year at Lafayette. I am interning with LA and Mike this summer in the West Ward Neighborhood Partnership office. We are collaborating with numerous organizations and non-profits and will eventually be conducting a Community Perception Survey, where with the assistance of West Ward volunteers, going door-to-door and interacting with the residents to get a better idea of how they perceive their surroundings and some improvements that they’d like to see made a reality.

I became interested in community development and social activism this year, mainly because although I am very involved on campus, I realized that I lacked a strong bond with the city of Easton. I want to leave here feeling confident that not only the College, but the city as a whole had become my home during my four years. My courses, professors and advisers all gave me the extra motivation I needed to apply for this internship, and so far I have been very pleased with our progress. The other interns are equally as excited and passionate about our work, so I am looking forward to a productive and worth-while summer.
