Meet Adela Raicu, Our Student Volunteer Liaison Adela Raicu is the Student Volunteer Liaison for our three communities. Here, she gives us insight on her background, her volunteer experience and the new student volunteer position. Facts about Adela: • I was born in Bucharest, Romania. • I absolutely love traveling: I have lived in three other countries including Romania, Japan and Canada. I have traveled to many other places, but my favorite has been Israel. I think traveling to different places from a young age has greatly impacted who I am as a person and I love learning about different cultures and people.
• I have 5 siblings, all of them girls, and I am the third oldest. • English is my third language, after Romanian and Japanese. I can also speak French, and understand Spanish. • I went to Shorewood High School, where I was on the tennis, gymnastics and track team. • I go to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where I am a sophomore and study psychology. Volunteer Experience at JHCC: • This is my second year as a Bonner AmeriCorps Leader at UWM, and I complete 300 hours of service at various sites, yearly. I am doing most of my service here at the JHCC this year, and hope to continue next year as well. See “Meet Adela,” page 2 Volunteer Venue | Spring 2015 | page 1
