Nina Asfar, '18

"I joined my SITES my junior year at Oberlin, and the experience totally shifted my post-grad trajectory. I spent two years after graduating doing an AmeriCorps service term with the Schuler Scholar Program. I worked as a mentor and tutor to high schoolers, and I also served as the Spanish Coordinator, translating and interpreting for the Spanish-speaking families in the program. SITES showed me the value and impact of working in education, and it instilled in me a long-lasting commitment to service. I'm headed to medical school at George Washington University, and I cannot understate how much the language pedagogy training influenced how I see myself as an educator, communicator, and future physician."​
