IU students making a difference: Three ACE volunteers share their stories
Throughout the semester, Live at IU will run a series of profiles on student volunteers -- those IU students who are taking time out from their busy schedules to improve other people's lives. These students come from a range of backgrounds and majors, but they have one thing in common: the desire to make a positive impact on the world. The following profiles focus on three of IU's 25 Advocate for Community Engagement (ACE) volunteers: Gaby Cheikh, a junior studying photography and art history (for Fair Trade Bloomington's new Global Gifts store); Vince Stange, a senior in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (for the Office of Service Learning); and Jennifer Jameson, a senior in folklore and ethnomusicology (for Mother Hubbard's Cupboard).
