Amanda Martin Sandino was recently accepted as a fellow for the 2011 Digital Research Summer Institute, where she will work on a collaborative digital pain mapping project. The Digital Research Summer Institute is an intensive effort to foster sustainable digital scholarship and interoperable communities of digital practice at the UW.

Holly Winters completed a volunteer internship teaching Spanish and English at Seattle's Ronald McDonald House during autumn quarter. In addition to the House being a wonderful place for families with seriously ill children, Holly tells us that it is also a delightful place to volunteer. This video shares a glimpse of what it was like to be immersed in that environment for 20 hours each week during autumn quarter.
In addition, Holly was nominated by the Ronald McDonald House and awarded the President's Volunteer Service Award for her internship service. Her certificate was accompanied by a letter from President Obama, embossed with the official White House Seal. You can read more about Holly's bilingual internship by visiting the MACS Featured Research Projects page.
Congratulations to Amanda and Holly.
