WKU’s College Health and Human Services has just finished the acceptance process into The International Multi-disciplinary Public and Clinical Health Team (IMPACT) and will be sending a group of students to Belize in January 2010.
IMPACT is a College of Health and Human Services program that allows students to travel to the community of Gales Point in Belize to provide medical, dental and public health services. During the service learning project, students are immersed in the culture and learn the importance of giving back to their community.
The students going on the trip are: Jordan Norris of Bowling Green, Molly Calico of Cincinnati; Rasmi Nai of Maharashtra, India; Mary Beth Wimsatt of Louisville; Jody Thompson of New Deal, Tenn.; Rachel Cusick of Louisville; Sarah Burton of White Mills; Michelle Allison of Owensboro; Wendi King of Tompkinsville; Elizabeth Ralph of Scottsville; Heather Rasmusson of Morgantown; Amanda Gaspar of Bowling Green; Breeze King of Tompkinsville; Laura Payne of Goodlettsville, Tenn,; Heather Woolwine of Greenbrier, Tenn; Jill Norris of Bowling Green.
