Intern in ISEA Communications to Graduate and Move On


Erin Driesbach of Lincoln, NE will graduate from Drake University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics on Saturday, May 13th, also marking the completion of her internship at ISEA. Erin whose work experience at Team ISEA was in our Communications Department, is the person responsible for getting me started in "blogging". I'm grateful for the perspective the young and energetic Erin brought to our Team. Thanks, Erin!

With Erin's graduation, she will move to Louisville, KY where she will be an AmeriCorps worker serving as the Volunteer Resource Coordinator at Kentucky Refugee Ministries. Her service in AmeriCorps is a one-year commitment, earning her a $5,000 "education grant" in which she intends to use for graduate school.

AmeriCorps workers live at 105% of the poverty level, qualifying for food stamps and Medicad.

Erin, we wish you the best! Our lives are richer because of your time with us!
