Sargent Partners with the College of Holy Cross

    Once again Sargent Center was lucky to have 3 College of Holy Cross interns to assist with Sargent Center students this summer. The summer intern partnership with Sargent began in 1993 to give students an opportunity to intern in areas outside of their regular course of study. Nick Savage (Class of 2014), a Warwick, RI resident, is a 2^nd year intern with Sargent and is a Physics student with plans to study engineering at Columbia University. In addition to assisting the students with their school work, he helped the students in Sargent’s Adolescent Brain Injury unit put together a photo collage of their 2011-2012 school year utilizing the computer and computer-based design tools. “Although I leave feeling like I have made a difference, they made a difference in me. I am most impressed with the student’s spirit and enthusiasm despite what they have gone through”. Nicole Passa (2013), chemistry major, worked mainly with our Day School students. When asked about her time with the students here at Sargent she stated, “It was the best experience and a once in a life time opportunity. It is not something I would experience in a lab and I feel I have made a difference in a short period of time”. And she did! Thank you Nicole! Gloria McMahon (2014), a classics major with a minor in deaf studies, enjoyed her time working with our students and was very impressed with how Sargent felt like being part of one big family. Sargent is delighted to have hosted 35 Holy Cross interns over the last 9 years and look forward to continuing the partnership. The experiences they bring to us and those that they take away with them are truly what a partnership is all about.
