鈥淎t Boston College, the emphasis on 鈥榤en and women for others鈥� stuck with me, and I saw it play out in the school life, and what students chose to give back to the community. While at 蜜桃传媒, I volunteered for the Neighborhood Center, which does tutoring and ESL tutoring for children and adults in the community, and I also worked during my senior year for 蜜桃传媒's Office of Health Promotion, which gave me a stronger interest in public health, and the benefits of health promotion and preventative health for populations,鈥� Freedman said.
